Project Intent:

To enable individuals with one hand disabilities to type at the same speed as the general population, the goal is to develop one-handed keyboard software.

Objectives:

1, Achieving identical typing speed and text composition as that of the general population.
2, Simplifying shortcuts that are challenging to input with one hand.

Key Principles:

Leveraging the repetitive nature of Korean consonants and vowels, the keyboard layout automatically alternates between left and right sides, allowing one-handed typing.

Advantages:

1, Speed:

Fast typing speed, requiring only 7 additional inputs compared to the general population for a 300-character sample.

2, Accessibility:

No need to learn a new layout other than the existing one.

3, Affordability:

Significantly lower cost compared to hardware solutions.

4, Portability:

Convenient to carry as it is software-based.

Key Features:

1, Keyboard Layout Change:

Enables switching between keyboard layouts.

2, Registration of Challenging Shortcuts on the Unused Opposite Side:

Allows registering shortcuts that are difficult to input with one hand on the unused opposite side.

3, Manual Key Registration for Language Switching:

Permits manual switching between left and right for foreign language input.

Note: The project is designed to enhance accessibility and typing efficiency for individuals with one hand disabilities by adapting the keyboard layout to their unique needs, providing a more inclusive digital experience.
