I am trying to develop an easily reconfigurable soft keyboard or IME for the disabled. My son has CP and only has use of one hand. As such, it is hard for him to work computers at school. The therapist said no one makes a disabled keyboard because there are too many configuration requirements based upon disability. So, I figured using a touchscreen tablet with configurable IME in place of a keyboard would be an "easy" fix.
Plus it gives 7",8", 10" of geography to work with instead of a small portion of the bottom of the screen.
How realistic that is remains to be seen. But if I can get it to work, there is a community out there which will benefit from the ability to make specialized keyboards to meet their specific needs without spending thousands of dollars on specialized, and generally, poor functioning medical interface equipment.
Android tablet and some open source App, $50-100. Smile on a kids face - priceless
