Hi Alan

One option to consider is the Aesop talking keyboard which is self-contained, 
and would give your friend an opportunity to use it without a computer until he 
felt completely comfortable.

I am not advocating this device because my local Society for the Blind sell it, 
but was purely thinking of a simple alternative at this stage.  It might be 
that it wouldn't be suitable because it doesn't attach to a keyboard, but 
rather allows the user to learn to touch type.

More info about it can be obtained from Fife Society for the Blind, 01592 
583272.

  Subject: [access-uk] Screen Keyboard?


  Hello List members, I am investigating Keyboard opsions for a elderly friend 
who is having trouble learning to use a standard Keyboard[ touch typeing], He 
has just enough vision to read the keys,I thought that maybe a mouse controled 
screen keyboard may be a possible alternative. I realise that x p includes a 
mouse controled Screen Keyboard in the accessibility opsions 

  I have googled for more imfo re various models etc,,their seems to be quite a 
few available.wonder if any one on the list has used a :Mouse controlled Screen 
Keyboard,,or could pass some more imfo on to me re,other oppsions,perhaps, 
keyboards with larger Keys ?.Thank you in advance. best wishes.Alan
