Abstract

Keyboards has been invented more than hundred years ago which help users interact with computers. Though there are many different keyboard design layouts and implementing, there is no design that is suitable for people with special needs, who have no hands. This paper presents a new approach for designing a soft keyboard that allows users interacting with computer though simple feet movements. For illustration, we introduce an application called UITK, which is a soft keyboard running on a tablet PC for helping user who have no hands to interact with computers.
