YA Singlehanded Input Device - Mock-Up 1

Preface

It is assumed that the reader is familiar with idea behind Yashid and the principle for the text-entering.

This mock-up is software-only and relies on input using the keyboard. It runs on the Windows Win32 family of operating systems (Win95/98/ME and NT40/Win2K).

The ordering and choise of characters is based on Toke Eskildsen's email outbox (6MB of text). The ordering is not optimal but will do for now.

Download & manual

The program version 0.2.1 can be downloaded as a ZIP-file: Yashid20010424.zip. Version 0.2.1 should be used instead of the initial version, due to richer visual clues and a better character-layout.

Un-ZIP to a directory of choise and run Yashid.exe. The program doesn't tamper with the registry and doesn't save any files anywhere.

The 4 buttons needed for text-entry is represented by any of the following rows of keyboard-buttons: 1234, asdf, jklæ, <zxc, m,.- and F1F2F3F4. It is not possible to erase text.
