 SwitchXS 2.5
SwitchXS provides virtually complete access to Mac OS X and all standard
Mac applications for people who can only use one or more switches. It
offers full mouse and keyboard emulation by means of a so-called
scanning mode. With each click on the switch the user selects an action,
such as "move the cursor up" or "type B", from a "scanning" menu.
SwitchXS is typically used by people who are, for example, quadriplegic
due to an accident, or living with neuromotor diseases such as
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
with very limited limb movement.
SwitchXS provides a number of predefined scanning panels that the user
can choose to move the cursor, click, and type into all standard Mac
applications. It also allows the user advanced control over features
such as audio-cueing, speech-cueing, key repeat, scanning speed and
cycling, mouse speed and movement, and SmartTransparency, which makes
the scanning panel partially or fully transparent when no scan is taking
place to enjoy optimum use of screen real-estate. SwitchXS works with
any HID compliant USB gamepad, joystick and keyboard, and starting with
Mac OS X 10.3 also with any HID compliant USB mouse or trackball.
SwitchXS also works with USB switch interfaces emulating any of the
above devices.
SwitchXS includes LayoutKitchen®, an editor that allows users to make
their own scan panels. For word prediction, in languages using the Roman
alphabet as well as many other languages, SwitchXS can be combined with
KeyStrokes®.
