Special note: if you are a GOK user, or wish to help out with the
project we need to hear from you! Please send
us an email.
GOK is award winning software that provides text entry and graphical
user interface interaction using only switches and/or mouse devices.
GOK is an on-screen keyboard that provides access to the GNOME desktop
via dynamically generated keyboards, and text entry via one of the
provided alphanumeric keyboards, or a dynamic keyboard created based on
the users current system keyboard driver, or even a user made
keyboard.
GOK keyboards are created in two ways. Dynamic keyboards are created (while GOK is running) to
provide access to the desktop and application GUIs. Premade
keyboards
are specified using fairly simple xml (".kbd") files. Current
keyboards include:
- launcher.kbd
- move-resize.kbd
- gok-controls.kbd
- main.kbd
- numberpad.kbd
- text-operations.kbd
- hide.kbd
- quit.kbd
- valuator.kbd
- Keyboard.kbd
- mouse.kbd
- qwerty.kbd
GOK allows the creation of new ways of operating the gok keyboards via
xml "access method" files (".xam") files. These files also provide the
description of the user interface for the access method's settings.
Current access methods include:
- automatic-scanning.xam
- dwell-selection.xam
- singlekey-automatic-scanning.xam
- singlekey-inverse-scanning.xam
- directed.xam
- inverse-scanning.xam
- direct-selection.xam
Started in late 2001, GOK was created at the ATRC (University of Toronto)
with funding from Sun Microsystems. GOK's current strength is in
minimal gesture (e.g. 1 switch) access.
GOK needs help! There is a list
of enhancement requests that we welcome anyone to help out
with. GOK has lot of room for improvement including a need for easier
configuration, visual slickness, as well as refactoring and bug fixing.
For a critical review please read Henrik's
GOK review.
