Essential Tremors - Better Input Methods

Input Methods

There are many input tools built into the existing technology. Usually, the peer group are not well versed in alternative methods other than typing. Essential tremors can have particular trouble with typing and traditional manner due to speed and pressure, as discussed earlier. Depending on the client, coaching on voice to text can work in the correct application depending on the machine learning and artificial intelligence the parent company delivers. If the client has deteriorating voice control, coaching on sending vocal recordings without text conversion may be a better method. Swipe to text keyboard is effective for some people, but I have not recommended this to date.    

nput tools built into technology can be incredibly useful for those who have difficulty typing, such as those with essential tremors. These tools can range from voice to text conversion to swipe-to-text keyboards.

However, it is important to note that not all input methods are suitable for everyone. For example, those with essential tremors may have difficulty with typing at a fast pace or applying the necessary pressure to the keys. In these cases, coaching on voice to text conversion can be a useful tool, provided the machine learning and artificial intelligence behind the technology is advanced enough to accurately interpret the user's voice.

For those with deteriorating voice control, sending vocal recordings without text conversion may be a better option. This allows the user to communicate their thoughts without having to rely on their ability to speak clearly.

While swipe-to-text keyboards can be effective for some users, they may not be the best option for everyone. It is important to consider the individual needs of the client and determine the most appropriate input method based on their abilities and limitations.

Overall, there are many input tools available to those with difficulty typing, but it is important to carefully consider the options and find the one that best meets the individual's needs. With the right input method, individuals with essential tremors or other typing difficulties can continue to communicate effectively and efficiently.
