Ablenet DiscoverPro-Switch and Keyboard Access

What is DiscoverPro?

DiscoverPro is customizable access software for Windows 2000/XP/Vista. DiscoverPro has been specifically designed to work with the wireless IntelliSwitch or with IntelliKeys USB from IntelliTools for scanning access. For On-Screen keyboard access, it works well with TrackerPro.

DiscoverPro and IntelliSwitch together replace and replicate the action of the old Discover:Switch and Discover:Kenx. These two products replace the standard keyboard and mouse for switch-scanning users. Think of DiscoverPro as all of the individual Discover products rolled into one. DiscoverPro gives you scanning, alternate keyboard and on-screen keyboard access depending on the hardware that you choose to use with it. DiscoverPro is a multi-purpose software that lets professionals try out different computer access hardware to assess users' particular needs.

TemplateMaker V2.0 (included) allows for the editing and creation of new Setups. Auditory cueing and feedback (either Text-to-Speech or pre-digitized) is included with DiscoverPro.
