Creating an overlay to work with computer programs other than IntelliTools Classroom Suite requires:
· An understanding of how the program is used with a standard keyboard and a standard mouse.
· Knowing what the IntelliKeys user would find difficult to do when using the standard keyboard and/or the standard mouse.
These two pieces of information determine what type of access you want your overlay(s) to provide to the user and how you can best design the overlay.
For example, to provide access to the program to a physically challenged IntelliKeys user, you might need to modify the keyboard layout used on a standard keyboard. The overlay you make might have keys in different places or fewer keys. For a visually impaired IntelliKeys user, you might want to enlarge and/or increase the color contrast of the keys compared to a standard keyboard. Or you may want the IntelliKeys user to be able to type words, phrases, or paragraphs by pressing just one overlay key.
How do I make an overlay that works with my computer program?
