[gui-talk] Needing Advice for a Visually Impaired Individual/Looking for a One-Handed Keyboard

[David Goldfield]

Hello.

I was contacted by someone whose husband recently suffered a stroke and 
who now only has the use of one hand. The gentleman is also blind and is 
a JAWS user. She was asking what I knew about keyboards which would be 
appropriate for someone who only has full use of one hand. I don't have 
any experience with this and would like some honest suggestions and 
recommendations about his options. I'm assuming that he should be 
professionally evaluated by someone who is familiar with this need and 
with available solutions, just as I would evaluate a blind person to 
determine which pieces of hardware or software would be relevant to a 
particular situation.

Many thanks.
