- computers". This is for a graduate course in Human Computer Interaction

- questions.
-
- 1. What voice synthesizer do you use ?
- 2. What screen reader do you use ?
- 3. What equipment would you prefer if price was of no
- object?
- 4. What keyboard configuration do you like ?
- A. Mnemonic (e.g. U for up, D for down)
- B. Numeric keypad (like Jaws, 8 for up, 2 for down)
- C. Configurable (you decide)
- D. Stand alone keyboard (a special piece of hardware)
- E. Spatial (e.g. i for up, j for left, l for right and m for down)
- F. Other
