REACH 5 Smart Lists™ "Add-On" (Patent Pending)

Demo REACH 5 Now Available

 

$200
A new approach to typing which has been shown to be highly effective in reducing the number of clicks and increasing speed - especially for persons using scanning input.  Select a key from the keyboard and it opens up showing a list of candidate letters in the context of what already has been typed.  Candidates can be listed alphabetically (e.g., when using point-and-click) or by their frequency of use (i.e., when scanning).

Demo REACH 5 Now Available

$150 This program combines all of the features of REACH Interface Author (see description above) with Smart Keys™ Technology (patent pending). Type the first letter in a word and Smart Keys searches all the open dictionaries to determine which letters follow that letter. Depending on your preference, Smart Keys can remove unlikely keys, gray them out, or change their color. If only one word is found it can be typed automatically by using the AutoType option.  Research has shown that Smart Key technology significantly increases the number of letters typed in a set period of time for persons not familiar with keyboards and (especially) for persons using scanning keyboards.
