The same microcomputer can generate both left and right mouse button clicks from a single external switch, or two separate switches can be utilized for direct button control, while feedback LEDs are provided for a visual indication of mouse button activity. To operate, connect the microphone, connect and position the body sensor in desired location, and connect USB cable to the host computer. There is no software to install or drivers to load. eeZee Mouse operates in conjunction with all existing mice or other input devices on the computer system. It is completely portable and compatible with all desktop and notebook computers.

  157. FIRST WORDS STERLING EDITION Picture of FIRST WORDS STERLING EDITION

    First Words Sterling Edition is a language and vocabulary tutorial program designed to provide training of early nouns for individuals with autism or language-learning, developmental, physical, visual or hearing disabilities. This program provides highly structured training of early developing nouns. The program trains 50 words in developmental order, but focuses on only five words at a time. Words are presented in isolation or with one other on the screen. The user can choose to work on a black or full-scene background. Optimized Intervention technology begins with a probe test to identify five words the student does not already know. During training, students are presented with two pictures and asked to identify one of them (e.g. "Find the cow.") The program monitors each student response and then automatically adjusts the training level(one to five) of each word. At the lower levels of training, the Blob reinforces correct answers with amusing antics. At the higher levels of training, a new character named Zot uses expanded language. Zot's speech uses the nouns from training with various determiners, plurals, and prepositions. The program also includes the Sterling Administration System, a set of tools for student management, data analysis, and report-writing.

    The Half-Qwerty One-Handed and Two-Handed Keyboard is a one-handed keyboard designed for use by individuals with use of only one hand, hemiplegia, carpal tunnel syndrome on one side, and other disabilities of the hand. This keyboard can also be used in conjunction with a braille dispaly by people with blindness or low vision. This full keyboard has a standard QWERTY layout that allows one-handed typing with either hand as well as standard two-handed typing. For one-handed typing, the user places the hand where it would normally be placed for touch-typing on that half of the keyboard. To type the letters of the other half of the keyboard, the user holds down the space bar and does the same finger movements that would normally be done by the other hand. Tapping the space bar alone still types a space. The keyboard also has a Sticky Keys feature that allows the user to type modifier keys (for example, Shift, Control, Alt) and the key being modified in succession, rather than simultaneously. Depressing and releasing a modifier key once makes it active for the next key typed. Pressing the modifier key twice locks it until it is unlocked by pressing the it again. The keyboard uses Alps mechanical key switches, which provide tactile feedback. It can be remapped to a layout that is standard in the user's country, by choosing the desired layout from the computer's control panel. The extra key in the lower left corner of non-U.S. keyboards (next to the Shift key) is represented by typing double-Shift-Z. COMPATIBILITY: This keyboard is equipped with USB, PS/2, and ADB interfaces and a built-in two-port USB hub for use with IBM and compatible or Macintosh computers. WARRANTY: Ten years.

  189. HALF-QWERTY ONE-HANDED KEYBOARD SOFTWARE

    The Half-QWERTY One-handed Keyboard Software is a one-hand keyboard modification program designed to allow a standard keyboard to also function as a one-handed keyboard, using a technique similar to two-handed touch typing. The user types with one hand in the standard home-row position for that hand. To type characters of the other hand, the user simply holds down the space bar and performs the finger movement previously performed by the other hand. Hitting the space bar only generates a space. Users with training in two-handed touch typing should be able to acquire the technique with little or no retraining, depending on the hand used and their individual skill level. The DOS version also has a sticky key feature which allows for modified use of function keys. The program does not interfere with standard two-handed typing. A set of keyboard labels is included. COMPATIBILITY: Versions are available for use on Apple Macintosh and IBM PC or compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: DOS or Windows 98.

While reading the books, students apply the skills they have learned and they can record themselves reading any book. Once read, the book is displayed on the student's bookshelf and can be re-read at any time. The software offers both guided and self-learning opportunities through more than 35 activities found in the Reading Rover, in the clouds, or in one of four areas on Letter Island: the beach, the jungle, the farm, and Vowel Village. These activities assist children in learning to recognize upper- and lowercase letters, mastering individual letter sounds, and identifying letter sounds within words. While flying from place to place in the Reading Rover, students encounter Word Clouds which require them to say aloud the words they see. When the word is spoken properly, the cloud disappears with a "poof" and the flight continues. This activity offers practice in sight words and assists in mastering frequently used words. Since the Reading Rover runs on the fuel of the "power of words," users are required to visit the Word Power Station to re-fuel. To accomplish this, they are challenged to build simple words using letters and sounds learned earlier in the adventure. As the adventure progresses, they move on to sentence-building activities that strengthen comprehension and vocabulary. The program also includes a Grow Slide that shows a complete list of all topics covered and the letters in the order in which they are taught. As students successfully answer activity questions, the Grow Slide automatically advances to new letters and more challenging questions. Teachers and parents can also manually change the position of the Grow Slide to change a child's location in the adventure and monitor individual progress. Also included in the software is a "Dear Parents" CD-ROM movie addressing the educational underpinnings of the program and discussing the role of parents and teachers in helping children to become successful readers. The School version also includes a Teacher's Guide and toll-free technical support. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 3.1 or Windows95 or later, 486 or Pentium or better processor, 3 megabytes (MB) free hard disk space, 8 MB RAM (16 MB recommended), Super VGA monitor with 256 colors or more, double speed or faster CD-ROM drive and a Windows- compatible sound card.
