What is Input Leap?
Input Leap is an innovative virtual keyboard software designed specifically for people with disabilities who have difficulty using a traditional physical keyboard. It works by utilizing state-of-the-art eye tracking technology to allow complete hands-free typing.
The software displays a virtual on-screen keyboard which the user can 'type' on just by looking at the keys. As the user looks at a key, the software detects this through the eye tracker and types out the corresponding letter or symbol as if it was physically pressed. This allows the production of text without the need to move one's hands.
Input Leap offers word prediction and next word suggestions to improve typing efficiency. It also has customizable features like adjustable dwell times before a key is typed, keyboard layouts, interface themes and more to suit each user's unique needs. The software is compatible with all modern eye trackers and works seamlessly with all applications on the Windows operating system.
The hands-free nature of Input Leap greatly empowers individuals with disabilities such as ALS, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy etc. to communicate effectively through typing. It represents an innovative approach to tackle accessibility challenges faced by the disabled community.
