OnScreen with CrossScanner

Onscreen Keyboard with Single Switch Scanning

for Adaptive Computer Access Needs

CrossScanner joins the Assistive Technology version of IMG's OnScreen with Word Complete. RJ Cooper's Single-switch Windows control software has been fully integrated into IMG's OnScreen. This is a special version is designed for individuals that cannot use a mouse, trackball, or other type of pointing device, but can use a switch-based approach to operate their computer.

Windows 11 / 10 / 8.1 / 8 is Now Available!

  (Versions for 7 / Vista / XP / 2000 also available)

OnScreen with CrossScanner is a highly sophisticated approach for operating a Windows based computer system. By using CrossScanner and a single-switch, any point on the screen can be selected, and any mouse type operation such as clicks, double-clicks, drag, or right-clicks can be accomplished with a few switch hits. Then, using OnScreen and its built in features such as WordComplete, text input can be sent to any program for creating documents, e-mails, or performing simple text entry tasks, all driven by CrossScanner and the single-switch interface.

Using OnScreen with CrossScanner, a switch user can do anything an average user using a physical keyboard and mouse can do, enabling users who would otherwise be restricted to closed or limited environments. This opens up the entire computing universe to a single switch user.

  • OnScreen is used by individuals who need an alternative to the physical keyboard, and need an on-screen keyboard as their primary text input device
  • CrossScanner allows a single switch to control Windows and all Applications.
  • For Commercial use, check out the Commercial Products Home Page
  • If you don't need a switch, refer to OnScreen with Word Complete
  • For Custom Keyboards & User Interfaces, see IMG's Build-A-Board System.

  • CrossScanner presents a LineScan (vertical scan) to scan down the screen, so the user can select the Y coordinate for their click, double-click, or drag operation.
  • The FingerScan (horizontal scan) then begins with the Icon Options available (selected by a switch hit), and then continues until the next switch hit, where the selected action occurs at the X/Y coordinate (e.g. double-click on an icon).
  • If there is no switch hit, the FingerScan (Optional) begins a reverse scan to allow a right-click action. Other options available based on user requirements.

      Word Prediction, Adaptive Word Completion

      With the WordComplete / Action panel open, as you begin to type, a frequency sorted list of words is presented to the user. If more letters are typed, the choices reflect the new list of candidates. A single click of the word will complete the word in the document or e-mail being typed into. Undo becomes available, and the word's frequency count is incremented. If a new word is typed, the word is added into the user's Word Lists. Auto-spacing, auto-capitalization, suffixes, and other WordComplete features can greatly increase the typing speed and accuracy of the user!
