I am sorry, I don't know anything about a onehanded keyboard. But there is a
program that may help this boy, if he is sighted, Now for some unknown
reason, I can't think of the name of the program now. But the software can
let the boy control his computer with his voice. It is a pretty good
program. It will control Jaws and most other things he wishes to do on the
computer. He can search for webpages, read the pages, fill in blanks and
most everything that he wants just using his voice and a microphone. I am
sorry that I can't remember the name of the software just now. But I am sure
that others will know and if you think that this will help just ask for the
name of the program and I am sure someone will tell you. I tried to use the
program and it worked really good. But as I can't see at all It was limited
for me. But if the user can make out the screen I think that it would be a
great boon to the user. Good luck in trying to help this boy.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] 1 Handed Keyboard

Hi All,

 I know of someone that is attempting to teach Jaws & the computer to a
child  that has only 1 arm.  I've done some searches for 1 handed keyboards,
but I  really don't know what to look for.  Does anyone have any, or know of
any  information that I can pass along to this teacher, so she can get this
little one going on the right path?!  I've heard somewhere that it's
possible to make a standard QWERTY keyboard swap, so that when after
invoking a keystroke the letters swap sides, so to speak.  So that if you
are typing from the QWERTY side, then you invoke this keystroke, you're then
typing the letters from the other side of the keyboard.  All help & input
will be greatly appreciated!  Come on folks lets get this little one going
on the right path!  Thank y'all very much.
 Take care.
 Mike
