OneApp ClickTyper is an innovative application program intended for people who can't use a keyboard. It gives you the freedom to write with your computer. You don't even have to move the mouse – you can edit text and use the other features of the program just by pressing the button of the mouse. OneApp ClickTyper allows you to browse existing text, print it, get the computer to read it aloud to you, or export it as a text file. The program also provides audio feedback to help you keep track of what is happening.
OneApp ClickTyper can be adapted to the user's needs. The part of the program that helps you to write is called the Virtual Keyboard. You can customise some of the keys on the 'virtual keyboard'. You can alter it to suit different languages, and you can set accented letters or other special characters. By using Advanced Preferences, you can choose which items will be available in the main window of the program (navigation bar, printing, exporting, quitting the program, Shut Down, etc).
To avoid distraction, and to prevent accidentally switching to the Finder, you can hide the menu bar, and the title bar of the window. What's more, you can use a 'desk cover' to hide the desktop and any open windows of other application programs.
The program's default mode is 'Click Mode'. When you use Click Mode, you don't need to move the mouse. You can edit text and use the other features merely by clicking the mouse. If you prefer, you can choose 'Mouse Mode', which lets you use the mouse in the ordinary way. The program works equally well with an alternative pointing device such as a trackball.
If you have difficulty clicking a mouse (or trackball, etc), you may want to consider having an alternative device constructed for you by a third-party supplier. Possibilities include a switch that can be worked with a head movement, or a device that senses the movement of eyelids and sends a signal to the computer.
