Before I start, I'd like to say that I have zero coding experience with regards to 'desktop programming'. I wouldn't even know how to begin the process of coding the software that I'm looking for. With that said, despite my inexperience, I am assuming that it would be quite simple.
I'm looking for a full screen (at 1600x900 resolution) on screen keyboard that allows you to select text using only one button click. After every click, the cursor would reset to the 'Q' in 'QWERTYUIOP', and cycle through each letter at a variable rate, moving across the virtual keyboard. If the user were to click a button, it would select and enter the currently selected letter, and then go back to the start.
Perhaps dictionary 'T9'-type support could be added.
The back story is that I'm trying to help a spastic girl get set up with computer usage. She's fine intellectually, as she has been since birth, but because of her physical disability she's never had the chance to use a computer. A lot of 'experts' have gotten in touch with her hoping to sell her $5,000 custom eye-tracking software, etc, but nothing is reliable enough to work given the severity of her condition.
I think if we could get her a dual screen computer with the regular applications and desktop on the left, and a one-button clicker that will let her type, she'd get a good start.
Would anyone have the skills and time to do this?
