hi, Your wish only to use traditionally designed typewriter layout is not appropriate to your physical condition. However, if you desire so, I just suggest you to understand the following reality. Just understand, what action to take is your decision. 1. Typewriter layout were designed for typewriter, a different machine at that time when no one has listen the word 'Computer'. At the beginning of the computer use in this region; to please those person who were familiar, to typewriter and make them to switch computer, the typewriter layout was introduced in computer system which was basically a wrong approach. It means what you were taught was a outcome of the idea of making please of old typists in passed decades. If the leading personality of computer technology introducing at the beginning may not have tried to please handful typists of that time, today millions people who use computer in their daily life would not b in problem as you are facing today. What you learn is inappropriate. 2. Phonetic layout suits for those person who frequently use English and local language. 3. Traditional layout does not suit for screen reader users. But, finally if you still prefer traditional layout, just adopt the Microsoft made Tamil layout. it has many benefits. a. It is already available in your computer and will always be in future too. It is not necessary to download and install from outside. b. This layout will be available in any computer having windows operating system installed. It means you can type Tamil in any computer of the world. If you use a particular layout, you may not be able to type in that computer in which your layout is not installed. 4. However, what ever layout to use, for a visually impaired person; the layout which has the following characteristics is appropriate to screen reader user. a. It must not type more than one character on single key press (no macro!). b. It should not have an option in which more than one key press is needed to generate one character (multi key press type single letter!). c. It should not have assigned control or alt keys for typing purposes (No use of modifie for typingr!). That's the key point to understand.
