AccessDOS is a software utility that make it easier for users with motion related disabilities to use the keyboard and mouse. Users that desire visual feedback rather than sounds will also find AccessDOS valuable. A PC with AccessDOS installed is ideal for settings where computers are used by multiple people, such as public or workgroup machines. Machines with AccessDOS can easily be used by both those individuals that require its additional features and those that do not.
Many software programs require the user to press two or three keys at one time.
For people who type with a headstick or mouthstick, that just isn't possible. StickyKeys allows users to press one key at a time and instructs the application to respond as if they had been pressed simultaneously. For some individuals, the sensitivity of the keyboard can be a major problem, especially if they hit keys accidentally. SlowKeys causes applications to disregard keystrokes that are not held down for a certain period of time. Most keyboards allow users to repeat a key just by holding it down.
