Editing and Email Accssibility for Stroke Victim


  👤 gnicholas Accepted Answer ✓
Strokes often result in difficulties with visual focus and tracking, which would make it difficult to read long documents. Visual therapy is a branch of optometry that seeks to address these types of challenges through what is essentially physical therapy for the eyes.

There is also software that can help with visual tracking when reading, including the tools developed by my startup. [1] We were actually unaware of the benefits our tools would have for stroke survivors until we heard from them.

You're going to need to explain in what manner and to what extent the victim is experiencing difficulty.

Its possible to have had a stroke and not experience any long term effects.

I am lucky enough to have not have needed such software. However, this also means I can’t vouch for much of this first hand for your use case.

Dasher is designed for text input with limited movement. You can try it out online: http://www.inference.org.uk/dasher/

I'm working on a Chrome Extension that lets you open tabs, navigate pages, click links, dictate emails etc. on the web using voice-control: https://www.lipsurf.com

Many of my users have motor control issues. Depending on the manner of the difficulty, I think this will be useful to you.
