Email

 

Icanemail from RJ Cooper

 

A simple, but powerful, full-screen, talking email program.  Designed for those with cognitive challenges, visual challenges, as well as physical challenges. For the user, it operates in a sequential manner, where it asks one question at a time, such as "Who would you like to send this to?" or "If you'd like to speak your message, you can do that here."

 

No reading is necessary because it talks, talks, talks :)

 

 

The email 'partner' (the recipient or sender) sends and receives mail without any special software at all!  To him/her it is just like emailing with anyone else.

 

 

ICanEmail can also let the user send/receive mail from other users on their system, without even using the Internet at all, even to themselves for practice.  AND YOU CAN EVEN ACCESS AOL, HOTMAIL, ETC., through a third party program, IzyMail!

 

 

Works with keyboard (IntelliKeys, BigKeys), or pointing device (Magic Touchscreen, SAM-Joystick, SAM-Trackball), or CrossScanner for single switch.

 

 

There is even an option to operate ICanEmail by voice, *any* voice, even the voice of an Augmentative Communication device!
