Hi,
What do you think?
Kiwi Keys:
Accessible Typing Tutor Hits The market.
Kiwi Keys (Home Edition), a brand new addition to the rapidly
developing Fruit Basket suite, will be released to the general public
for downloads on January 16, 2009. This application is the first of
its kind in that it was built using the VIP-Toolkit available free of
charge from the ICE project. The VIP-Toolkit interface was designed
from the ground up to be fully accessible to people with a visual
impairment, and therefore inherently, Kiwi Keys is completely
accessible to Orca and Apple Voiceover users.
Sleek, modern, and extremely customizable, the typing tutor features a
wide range of compact, interesting features geared towards people of
all ages and typing abilities. Multi-lingual support allows non-
English students to participate in typing lessons in their own
language. The ability to reset lessons ensures that you feel that you
get the right amount of practice on any given section of the keyboard.
The ability to sync lessons between computers (Advanced and Pro only),
allows typing instructors to restructure their seating arrangements
without disrupting the flow of their student's learning.
Since Kiwi Keys is based on the VIP-Toolkit, it will run on Mac OS X
10.4 or later and Linux. This cross platform toolkit is both
lightweight and effective, challenging the conventional methods of
accessible application development.
Kiwi Keys provides the next level of typing tutorials. The advanced
and pro versions integrate seamlessly into the sighted classroom
environment, without a need for special modification. Simply download,
install, and insert the license key you received with your product,
and you are on your way to a new world of typing.
The complete user interface of Kiwi is completely accessible, by means
of an audio and graphical user interface. Visually impaired students
and classroom teachers alike will no doubt immensely enjoy the fun and
hassle free experience Kiwi Keys provides.
Thanks for listening,
Alex,
