Accessibility: Add a clickable floating start/stop button for users without keyboard access

[jljordan42]

I operate my Mac through an accessibility setup using my toe, and I can only perform a standard left-button click. I cannot use a physical keyboard, modifier keys, a middle mouse button, or side buttons.

FluidVoice currently requires a keyboard shortcut, auxiliary mouse button, or modified click to start dictation. I tried using the macOS Accessibility Keyboard, but FluidVoice’s shortcut recorder detects the left-click used to press the onscreen key first. It displays “Left Click needs a modifier key” and disrupts shortcut capture. This leaves me unable to configure or activate dictation.

Aqua Voice solves this with a small clickable floating bar at the bottom of the screen. A similar optional control in FluidVoice would make the application usable for people with pointer-only accessibility setups.

Proposed solution:

Add an optional floating button that can be clicked once to start dictation and again to stop.

Alternatively, make the existing overlay clickable to start and stop recording.

The button should have a sufficiently large click target and an accessibility label.

An unmodified left-click should only activate dictation when clicking this button—not globally.

A menu-bar Start/Stop Dictation command could also help, although a persistent floating control would require much less pointer movement.
