ECTkeyboard

ECTkeyboard is an incredibly useful program included in a set of assistive applications for those with motor skills difficulties. Developed by EyeComTec, this virtual keyboard allows users to select letters, numbers, and even commands with minimal effort through button or pedal presses. For those who cannot utilize their extremities, the program can also be integrated with eye-tracking devices to allow for symbol selection via sight direction.

The core concept of ECTkeyboard is to offer a means of communication and an avenue for individuals with paralysis to express themselves. Being a totally portable application, there is no need for installation, and it's available for use from any external storage device. An infinite number of user profiles can be created and switched on the fly, making it an indispensable tool for various medical and rehabilitation facilities.

The user-friendly interface offers a customizable layout, enabling font and color alterations, row and column adjustments, and control over the order of cells. Additionally, users can opt for a high contrast color motif and select sound prompts for all highlighted symbols. This feature is especially helpful for visually impaired users.

What sets ECTkeyboard apart is the ability to alter the iteration speed of the symbol matrix. For those who are new to the application, a lower speed can assist in understanding the interface and assist in learning the location of each letter and symbol. As familiarity and skill level grow, a quicker iteration of symbols can be utilized for expeditious typing. Overall, ECTkeyboard is an excellent communication tool, and its versatility and ease of use make it a worthy addition to any assistive technology arsenal.
