Other Features and Benefits

HAYDi:Switch knows which application you are using and shows you a related onscreen keyboard. When you need, you can call  other onscreen keyboards and return back. If you install a new application, HAYDi:Switch will automatically link the Home onscreen keyboard without asking you. You can change the application-keyboard link anytime.

You can use the unique Smart Mouse settings to make sensitive mouse movements. It throttles the mouse pointer in designated startup area to allow you to go to exact point. Smart Mouse Movements is a great feature to use in drawing programs from MS Paint to a CAD software.

Target Scanning is an alternative to mouse movements. When you use the mouse with high speed, you can face difficulties in reaching your targets on the screen. Target Scanning function is especially designed to overcome this problem. Scanning the screen first horizontally and then vertically provides a perfect target hit. Mouse pointer is moved directly to the conjunction point of these two sequential scans. You are able to divide the screen to 4 pieces also and do the scanning only in the area needed.

HAYDi:Switch helps your daily conversation by Voice Communication onscreen keyboard. It is designed for the usage of individuals having speech disabilities. Symbols of the keyboard are selected from  worldwide known PCS set. Besides 43 pre-recorded voice messages (male and female voices), there are 4 spare icons. These icons are especially created for your own recorded messages.

You can change the color, scan cycle, scan speed and place of onscreen keyboards as your needs. You are also able to change mouse speed and pixel sensitivity.
