 * What is assistive technology? **

Assistive technology is technology used by individuals with disabilities in order to perform functions that might otherwise be difficult or impossible. Assistive technology can include mobility devices such as walkers and wheelchairs, as well as hardware, software, and peripherals that assist people with disabilities in accessing computers or other information technologies. For example, people with limited hand function may use a keyboard with large keys or a special mouse to operate a computer, people who are blind may use software that reads text on the screen in a computer-generated voice, people with low vision may use software that enlarges screen content, people who are deaf may use a TTY (text telephone), or people with speech impairments may use a device that speaks out loud as they enter text via a keyboard. A tremendous variety of assistive technology is available today, providing the opportunity for nearly all people to access information technology (IT). However, an individual's having proper assistive technology is no guarantee of having access. IT accessibility is dependent on accessible design. IT products must be designed and created in ways that allow all users to access them, including those who use assistive technologies. ** Accessibility in Windows 7 ** The [|Ease of Access Center] provides a convenient, centralized place to locate accessibility settings and programs to make your computer easier to use. The Ease of Access Center can be found in the Control Panel by selecting Windows logo key+U and also when logging into Windows. =** Get recommendations from the Ease of Access Center **= > In addition to the Ease of Access Center, Windows includes three programs that can make it easier to interact with your computer. Magnifier enlarges different parts of the screen and is part of the Ease of Access Center. To open it quickly, click Start, and then type Magnifier. >> You can also change the screen resolution, which adjusts the clarity, size, and amount of things that fit on your computer monitor. If you want to have Magnifier at your fingertips, you can pin it to the taskbar. (RC on magnifier and click PIN TO TASKBAR) >> **There are three Magnifier modes: ** >> Full-screen mode and lens mode are only available as part of the Aero  experience. If your computer doesn't support Aero , or if you're not using an Aero‌ theme, Magnifier will only work in docked mode. >> =**2. Type without using the keyboard (On-Screen Keyboard) **= Instead of relying on the physical keyboard to type and enter data, you can use On-Screen Keyboard. On-Screen Keyboard displays a visual keyboard with all the standard keys. You can select keys using the mouse or another pointing device, or you can use a single key or group of keys to cycle through the keys on the screen. >> ** [|__To change how information is entered into On-Screen Keyboard__] ** You can have On-Screen Keyboard make an audible click when a key is pressed. You can use a numeric key pad to enter numbers with On-Screen Keyboard. When text prediction is enabled, as you type, On-Screen Keyboard displays a list of words that you might be typing. //If you don't want to automatically add a space after you insert a word using text prediction, clear the// //Insert space after predicted words// //check box, and then click// //OK// //.//

 * Types of Assistive Technology Products **

Descriptions of Assistive Technology Products

 * Alternative input devices** allow individuals to control their computers through means other than a standard keyboard or pointing device. Examples include:
 * ** Alternative keyboards ** —featuring larger- or smaller-than-standard keys or keyboards, alternative key configurations, and keyboards for use with one hand.
 * ** Electronic pointing devices ** —used to control the cursor on the screen without use of hands. Devices used include ultrasound, infrared beams, eye movements, nerve signals, or brain waves.
 * ** Sip-and-puff systems ** —activated by inhaling or exhaling.
 * ** Wands and sticks ** —worn on the head, held in the mouth or strapped to the chin and used to press keys on the keyboard
 * ** Joysticks ** —manipulated by hand, feet, chin, etc. and used to control the cursor on screen.
 * ** Trackballs ** —movable balls on top of a base that can be used to move the cursor on screen.
 * ** Touch screens ** —allow direct selection or activation of the computer by touching the screen, making it easier to select an option directly rather than through a mouse movement or keyboard. Touch screens are either built into the computer monitor or can be added onto a computer monitor.
 * Braille embossers** transfer computer generated text into embossed Braille output. Braille translation programs convert text scanned-in or generated via standard word processing programs into Braille, which can be printed on the embosser.
 * Keyboard filters** are typing aids such as word prediction utilities and add-on spelling checkers that reduce the required number of keystrokes. Keyboard filters enable users to quickly access the letters they need and to avoid inadvertently selecting keys they don't want.
 * Light signaler alerts** monitor computer sounds and alert the computer user with light signals. This is useful when a computer user can not hear computer sounds or is not directly in front of the computer screen. As an example, a light can flash alerting the user when a new e-mail message has arrived or a computer command has completed.
 * On-screen keyboards** provide an image of a standard or modified keyboard on the computer screen that allows the user to select keys with a mouse, touch screen, trackball, joystick, switch, or electronic pointing device. On-screen keyboards often have a scanning option that highlights individual keys that can be selected by the user. On-screen keyboards are helpful for individuals who are not able to use a standard keyboard due to dexterity or mobility difficulties.
 * Reading tools and learning disabilities programs** include software and hardware designed to make text-based materials more accessible for people who have difficulty with reading. Options can include scanning, reformatting, navigating, or speaking text out loud. These programs are helpful for those who have difficulty seeing or manipulating conventional print materials; people who are developing new literacy skills or who are learning English as a foreign language; and people who comprehend better when they hear and see text highlighted simultaneously.
 * Refreshable Braille displays** provide tactile output of information represented on the computer screen. A Braille "cell" is composed of a series of dots. The pattern of the dots and various combinations of the cells are used in place of letters. Refreshable Braille displays mechanically lift small rounded plastic or metal pins as needed to form Braille characters. The user reads the Braille letters with his or her fingers, and then, after a line is read, can refresh the display to read the next line.
 * Screen enlargers, or screen magnifiers**, work like a magnifying glass for the computer by enlarging a portion of the screen which can increase legibility and make it easier to see items on the computer. Some screen enlargers allow a person to zoom in and out on a particular area of the screen.
 * Screen readers** are used to verbalize, or "speak," everything on the screen including text, graphics, control buttons, and menus into a computerized voice that is spoken aloud. In essence, a screen reader transforms a graphic user interface (GUI) into an audio interface. Screen readers are essential for computer users who are blind.
 * Speech recognition or voice recognition programs**, allow people to give commands and enter data using their voices rather than a mouse or keyboard. Voice recognition systems use a microphone attached to the computer, which can be used to create text documents such as letters or e-mail messages, browse the Internet, and navigate among applications and menus by voice.
 * Text-to-Speech (TTS) or speech synthesizers** receive information going to the screen in the form of letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, and then "speak" it out loud in a computerized voice. Using speech synthesizers allows computer users who are blind or who have learning difficulties to hear what they are typing and also provide a spoken voice for individuals who can not communicate orally, but can communicate their thoughts through typing.
 * Talking and large-print word processors** are software programs that use speech synthesizers to provide auditory feedback of what is typed. Large-print word processors allow the user to view everything in large text without added screen enlargement.

= KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS = Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of two or more keys that, when pressed, can be used to perform a task that would typically require a mouse or other pointing device. Keyboard shortcuts can make it easier to interact with your computer, saving you time and effort as you work with Windows and other programs. Most programs also provide accelerator keys that can make it easier to work with menus and other commands. Check the menus of programs for accelerator keys. If a letter is underlined in a menu, that usually means that pressing the Alt key in combination with the underlined key will have the same effect as clicking that menu item. Pressing the Alt key in some programs, such as Paint and WordPad, shows commands that are labeled with additional keys that you can press to use them. You can also create new keyboard shortcuts to open programs.
