I am a big fan of Grid. It can be downloaded from the Smartbox website and you get a free 60 day evaluation. Also it has very good parameter control of input switch performance, which I feel will be very important, given that your user will be attempting to use a SCATIR as an eyeblink switch. It also offers additional features that make scanning more efficient.

 

Tobii Sono Key is one that I know some people really like, and I understand that it is particularly good at handling multi-media libraries.

 

Cheers

Look at Grid 3 as well. I believe you can just purchase the software and install on a computer.

 

 

 

I think there is a demo.

Good morning!

 

I am looking for a suggestion for a patient who just purchased a new windows 10 computer who wants to use a switch with scanning on his computer. He is dead set on using a Scatir switch with glasses, with a USB switch interface plugged directly into his computer. But I rarely do this sort of thing on non-speech generating devices so I need recommendations on a program that will allow him full computer access using scanning with his switch to open and close programs, left click, right click, scrolling up/down, left/right, typing etc etc. He will be taking some classes in the fall and needs access to all the normal  programs one might need to email, type reports, surf the internet, etc. I’ve used these type of mouse control programs before but they came standard on patients SGD’s. Patient does not want a speech device.

 

Please help! J Thank you in advance!
