ScanBuddy 2
by Applied Human Factors
Need to use the mouse anywhere on the screen when scanning?
ScanBuddy 2 uses a new approach to full screen scanning that lets you quickly and easily position and control the mouse using one switch (single or inverse single-switch scanning), two switches (dual switch scanning), or keys on your computer keyboard.
There are several options, but the most standard method combines a special form of row/column scanning (to identify a specific area on the display) and then line scanning (to select a specific point). This approach to scanning is very fast and easy.
When the mouse pointer is where you want it to be, then you can choose from a variety of mouse button and other options (such as click, double-click, drag, etc). Use it alone, with REACH Interface Author, or with SoothSayer Word Prediction. ScanBuddy is full of features that can increase your scanning speed and accuracy:
Features
- Compatible with Windows Vista
- ScanBuddy lets you use one or two switches to perform most mouse operations
- Use ScanBuddy alone or with REACH with Smart Keys (scanning control is passed seamlessly between REACH and ScanBuddy)

- Use keys on your keyboard, a mouse switch, a joystick switch, or any switch that emulates a mouse switch as your input switch for scanning
- Select from several scanning strategies; use standard line scanning or first use section scanning to identify the general area of the display where the target point is located and then use line scanning to precisely position the mouse
- Once you have selected the location, choose from several button options including click, double click, drag, left or right mouse button, scroll down or up, pulse click, cancel, launch a favourite application, Shift+, Control+, or show ScanBuddy settings
