Hot Authoring Makes Customization a Snap!

Just right click on any key and you launch the Hot Authoring screen.

With Hot Authoring you can change the color of one key or all the keys on the keyboard.

Let's go for an example:
You've found a keyboard that you really like and you want to make it a high-contrast keyboard for a low-vision user.

No problem! Just right click on any key. On the resulting Hot Authoring screen select "Change this key or all key's Color or Label Size." You then will see another screen which lets you choose whether to apply your color choice to all keys or only the key you right clicked on. After you indicate all the keys, choose the color you want and you're done! Because it is a keyboard for someone with low vision, you also might want to use Hot Authoring to increase the size of the labels on all the keys.


Hot Authoring Personalizes

Many people prefer having a more personalized and fun kind of keyboarding system. For example, perhaps you would like pictures of a loved-one on a key, and when you click on the key it would say "Hello honey how are you?" This can be done easily with Hot Authoring (provided you already have the picture you want).

Make Your Own REACH Keyboards!

In addition, to being able to easily customize existing keyboards, you can design your own from scratch or using one of our keyboard templates. Below is an example, a keyboard being designed in the REACH Keyboard Author design tool.

REACH allows you to design your own keyboards using the REACH Keyboard Author tool. To the left you can see an advanced example of what can be done to design keyboards. Not only can you make interesting keyboards, you can make them functional too.
You can...

  • Set the color, font and size of key.
  • Give keys actions or macros to perform when clicked.
  • Define what is spoken when pointed at and pressed.
  • Assign macros to perform Windows functions or REACH functions.
  • With your imagination the possibilities are endless!
