Tools and practiceAccessibilityOpen source

Julius Sweetland introduces OptiKey, a free and open-source assistive on-screen keyboard designed to be controlled via eye-tracking devices.

OptiKey - free, open-source assistive on-screen keyboard (v2.0.5) *** If you would like to sponsor this project and help me dedicate more time to OptiKey please visit: patreon.com/OptiKey *** OptiKey is an assistive on-screen keyboard which runs on Windows. I wrote it to be used with an eye-tracking device to bring keyboard control, mouse control and speech to people with motor and speech limitations, such as people living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) / Motor Neuron Disease (MND). OptiKey was written to challenge the outrageously expensive, unreliable and difficult to use AAC (alternative and augmentative communication) products on the market. It is, therefore, fully open-source and free. Forever. Check out www.OptiKey.org for more info and to download.
