Product Description: 

WiViK is an on-screen keyboard that enables people with physical disabilities to access any application within Microsoft Windows 95/ 98/Me/NT4/00/XP. The WiViK keyboard is displayed within a window that the user can move and size.

Main Features: 

  • Using any pointing device (e.g., mouse, trackball, touchpad, and head pointer) the users can select the WiViK on-screen keys. All keys work just as they would if the users were typing on a physical keyboard. 
  • With switch-based scanning, a highlight moves or scans across the keyboard. Users can select the switch to choose the key they want and WiViK sends it to a word processor, e-mail message, web page or other text-based application. With WiViK, users can also use the switch to open menus, edit text, move or resize windows, jump to other applications, or move the mouse pointer.
  • WiViK includes WordQ word prediction and abbreviation-expansion. Word prediction incorporates user vocabularies to predict which word is being typed. 
  • Letters, words, and sentences are being spoken as a user types. This helps confirm that the correct character, word, or combination of words and punctuation have been selected.
  • In the proofreading mode, the text is highlighted and read word-by-word within the application.

Primary Specifications: 

  • Pentium II - 266 MHz or faster processor.
  • At least 64 MB RAM; 128 MB RAM is suggested.
  • Sound card and speakers/headset to use speech features.
  • USB port OR 9-pin joystick port which is typically found on the sound card. Connect either the PRC USB switch box or the PRC two-switch connector.
  • Operating Systems: Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0 (SP6+), 2000, and XP Home and Professional.
