How I Type On Laptop

As a C4/5/6 quadriplegic with zero finger movement. It is very difficult for me to type on laptop, especially due to the keyboard position. Below are the 2 ways I used to "type" on laptop:

1. On-screen keyboard - I usually use on screen keyboard to input on laptop. It is quite eye tiring process as you have to look at the keyboard on the screen and use the mouse click to key in the desired characters. The on screen keyboard will occupy portion of the screen, therefore you need a wider screen for comfortable wording process.

The on screen is come with OS, go Start>Accessories>Accessibility. On-Screen Keyboard. There is a on screen keyboard with word prediction, which quite handy such as Wivik, but it is not cheap.


2. Using both hands to press on the keyboard- a finger of one hand ready ontop of the key and the other hand exert weight on it so as to push down the keys.
