HALF-QWERTY ONE-HANDED KEYBOARD SOFTWARE
The Half-QWERTY One-handed Keyboard Software is a one-hand keyboard modification program designed to allow a standard keyboard to also function as a one-handed keyboard, using a technique similar to two-handed touch typing. The user types with one hand in the standard home-row position for that hand. To type characters of the other hand, the user simply holds down the space bar and performs the finger movement previously performed by the other hand. Hitting the space bar only generates a space. Users with training in two-handed touch typing should be able to acquire the technique with little or no retraining, depending on the hand used and their individual skill level. The DOS version also has a sticky key feature which allows for modified use of function keys. The program does not interfere with standard two-handed typing. A set of keyboard labels is included. COMPATIBILITY: Versions are available for use on Apple Macintosh and IBM PC or compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: DOS or Windows 98.
Notes: The manufacturer states (April 2003) that this product will be phased out over the coming year. ** The manufacturer states that, with practice, typists can expect to achieve one-handed speeds between 61 and 91 percent of their original two-handed rate, depending on the hand used and their individual skill level. ** Shipping and handling charges are not included in the purchase price listed.
