Hi Barrie, Was it QuikWriting that NYU originally developed: https://mrl.nyu.edu/projects/quikwriting/ and ‘someone’ developed and released years ago: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j6v6pg2rw17mgz3/QW.zip?dl=0 That sounds amazing Paul – essentially an ‘Eigthing’ (non visual) interface?

Or Dasher? https://bltt.org/dasher/ Coincidentally, we’re making a new version of an interface that I originally built for someone in 1993. It’s a coding system that takes 8 switch inputs and each letter or command is typed with two switch activations, e.g. to type a space activate switch 1 followed by switch 1; to type ‘a’ activate switch 2 followed by switch 2; ‘b’ is switch 3 followed by switch 5. It’s very quick – see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv4cuetR0VI The new version is done with an Arduino, so it will be cheap and replicable. The original version which Rhoda still uses bespoke and indeed unique - there’s only 1 of them! If anyone’s interested get in touch and I’ll keep you up to date re progress.

Does anyone have any links to such a thing? I'm not talking about a conventional on-screen keyboard, but something a bit more unusual. Thanks if anyone can help.
