NEW! For PCs with Windows
INTRODUCING . . .
WinSCAN
Academic Software, Inc., announces the initial release of WinSCAN, a new general-purpose single-switch interface for PCs with Windows. WinSCAN offers a flexible, powerful new means of computer access for PC users, rivaling those now available for the Macintosh and providing new ways to access and operate independently the next generation of Power PC and Pentium computers, new operating systems, and high-performance software in the home, at school, and on-the-job.
WinSCAN gives single-switch users independent control access to educational and productivity software, multimedia programs, and recreational activities that run under Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, or Windows 95 on IBM and compatible PCs. You can navigate through Windows; choose program icons and run application programs, games and CD's; even surf the Internet with WinSCAN!
WinSCAN superimposes scanning control displays in front of application programs running under Windows on the PC. These control displays may be set up to contain words or pictures representing general functions to navigate Windows and/or specific functions to operate particular programs. The display can be set to scan at an adjustable rate vertically or horizontally and can be repositioned anywhere convenient on the PC desktop. Custom control displays can be created for particular programs, printed out, and saved on disk for later use or further editing.
WinSCAN works with most external adaptive switches and the popular single-switch interface cable from ASI called SS-ACCESS! The program moves an on-screen scanning selector and refreshes the display in real time while monitoring the state of the external switch. When you respond to the scan by pressing the switch, WinSCAN sends appropriate keystrokes, mouse functions, or commands to the running program. You can open program groups, select icons, run applications, point and click, cut and paste, resize and drag, use function keys and combination key commands, enter numbers and text, and more with WinSCAN and your single-switch.
The Standard package includes the WinSCAN software and easy installation program on 3.5" disk, User's Guide, and SS-ACCESS! interface cable. The cost is $295.00. For more information or to order: Academic Software, Inc., 331 West Second Street, Lexington, KY 40507; (800) 842-2357.
