WiVik - Pointing Access:
WiVik assume you cannot use a standard keyboard so it
provides two methods -
"Pointing Access"
"Scanning Access"
With "Pointing Access" you have two methods -
"Click Selection"
"Dwell Selection"
You can use
any pointing device (e.g., mouse, trackball, touchpad, and headpointer)
to point to WiViK's
on-screen keys and click or dwell.
All keys work just as they would if you were typing on a physical
keyboard. Select a key and WiViK sends it to a word processor, e-mail
message, web page or other text-based application you may be using.
Keyboards can contain any keys you want, can be moved anywhere on the
screen and can be any size. WiViK also has a unique expanding quadrant
keyboard for those with limited pointing abilities.

Pointing Access - Click Selection
Click selection enables you to to select a key by clicking the button
associated with your pointing device. There are several optional ways of
using this selection method. You can select the key that first point at
while clicking, or you can hold the button down while dragging across
the keyboard—a useful technique for touchscreen users. Other options
include quick shifting a character without using the Shift key by
double-clicking a letter; using the right button to quickly perform an
Undo action; and selecting a key on pressing the button down rather than
waiting for the button to be released.
WiVik -
Pointing Access - Dwell Selection
Dwell selection allows you to select a key by dwelling or pausing over a
key for an adjustable time. There are several optional ways of using
this selection method. You can turn on averaging so that if you move off
the key while dwelling, you do not have to start the dwelling time over
again. The key that you are over most of the time will be the one that
is selected. This is very useful if you have difficulty holding the
pointing device perfectly still or have imprecise pointing ability. You
can also choose to have keys auto repeat or not. Associated with auto
repeating is an option to automatically stop repeating if the motion of
the pointing device is absolutely still (as in the case of you taking
your hand off the device).
Sticky Keys
Sticky keys are standard with the Shift, Caps Lock, Alt and Ctrl keys
which automatically latch with a single selection, or latch on with a
double selection.
Expanding
quadrant selection
Expanding quadrant selection is a WiViK innovation which involves a
special keyboard for selecting keys which has been developed for people
with imprecise pointing abilities. Quadrants of a keyboard are expanded
to provide larger target areas for selection.
