Accessibility for person with a motor disability

[Mats L]

Hi Alex and all,

I can confirm Cesar's description of the functionality of eViacam as a very
objective and accurate one (despite - or thanks to - his direct involvement
;-)

I have been doing som content management for OATSoft for several years, but
unfortunately the maintenance broke down a couple of years ago because of
server hosting problems etc outside of my control. In addition to Gregg's
link to the Unified Listing <http://ul.gpii.net/> (which is a very
comprehensive database merging data from many sources, but also a bit messy
and not specific for free software), there is also another new attempt to
replace the function of OATSoft in the OpenAssistive
<https://openassistive.org/> initiative. This latter is not yet very
comprehensive as it is new and depends on user input. I suggest that we all
check out these resources and try to help adding missing bits and pieces
and keeping them up-to-date for free software solutions.

Regarding access alternative solutions for GNU/Linux there is also the
Caribou on-screen keyboard:
https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/Caribou. This is a rather basic
on-screen keyboard tool. It has been developing slowly, but I have noticed
some recent activity via the bug tracker.
Unfortunately the GNU/Linux environments are badly missing a full-featured
tailorable on-screen keyboard alternative (including switch input etc.)
following up on the GOK
<https://ul.gpii.net/content/gok?search_api_views_fulltext=Gnome%20on-screen%20keyboard>project
since it was discontinued.

Cheers,
Mats
