horizontally, or by row or column. It
can be repositioned anywhere on the

load) custom setups for particular pro-
grams, print them, save them on disk for re-use or further editing, link them together, or use
them to start your PC automatically with WinSCAN up and running. You can open program
groups; select icons; run applications, games, and CDs; switch to new setups; point and
click; cut and paste; drag and drop; enter text; use combination key commands; and more;
even surf the Internet with WinSCAN and your single switch.
WinSCAN 2.0 retains simplicity and ease of use, while offering a host of powerful features:
• 90 built-in icons to represent scan functions for mouse and keyboard control.
• Up to 20 scan positions can be defined in the main scanning display.
• User-defined # of rows and columns in the display (e.g., 1x10, 4x5, 7x2, etc.).
• Choice of linear (horizontal or vertical), row/column, or column/row scanning.
• A "response" audible tone mode in addition to the previous "prompt" mode.
• A variable-length "dwell" or "activation delay" function to give the user time to
attend the screen to see the consequences of input.
• Two different DRAG modes to meet most normal dragging requirements.
• Precision controls for mouse cursor positioning and dragging operations.
• Greatly enhanced "Text Plus" and "Text Only" special text entry functions.
• A "Control" special function, allowing single-switch users to adjust scan speed,
drag mode, and many other program settings independently.
• A WSUtility program for creating and/or editing setup files independently.
• A WSUtility option to convert older setup files to WinSCAN, v2.0, format.
• A powerful innovative capability to create and link associated setups for multiple
programs and to switch between these setups independently.
