Discover OptiKey, a revolutionary software designed for individuals with motor disabilities, utilizing eye-tracking technology to enable effortless typing and computer control.
OptiKey is an assistive technology software that allows people with severe motor disabilities to type and communicate using only their eyes. It works by tracking eye movements and fixations using a camera mounted on the computer to control an on-screen keyboard and text-to-speech system.
OptiKey allows users to type words by looking at letters on the virtual keyboard and uses word prediction to speed up communication. It also enables control of the mouse cursor to interact with other computer software and applications. The software is completely customizable in terms of keyboard layouts, word prediction, and interface options to suit each user's abilities.
OptiKey is designed specifically for those with conditions such as ALS, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries or similar that prevent them from using traditional computer input devices. It requires no hand or voice function and allows users to compose messages, send emails, search the web and manage many day-to-day digital tasks independently.
