Free Downloads and Resources
On this page, you will find links to programs that can make your computing
experience easier. Some would not necessarily be classified as "adaptive",
and not every link is for every user, but hopefully we will eventually
have something for everyone. If you know of a link that should be here, let us know.

AI
RoboForm (http://www.roboform.com)
A one-click web form filler and password manager with some serious
Artificial Intelligence (AI) inside. It works as an add-on to Microsoft
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and many other browswers. It is free to try, too useful not to buy.
Click Aid
(http://polital.com/ca/)
ClickAid is a FREE stand-alone on-screen mouse aid designed for anyone who has difficulty switching between mouse buttons or double clicking on a physical computer mouse. It will work with all mouse systems including head mouse and touch screen devices.
Click-N-Type

or DOS application that can run within a window.
Cmap
Concept Mapping Software
(http://cmap.ihmc.us/)
A free program, created as part of a research project at IHMC,
based at the University of West Florida. Not as user friendly as Inspiration,
but hey, the price is right!
Mousetool
(http://www.mousetool.com)
is the free award-winning program that clicks the mouse for you. Note:
This software is no longer free, but is now $75.00! Moral: Download
the free stuff while you still can! P.S. : I have a copy (of the free
version) and will share it with you if you ask. Just email me. (Click here if you want to buy the newer version, Nib)

images of documents! This is especially handy for people who have a scanned
text document in an image format.

(http://www.readplease.com)

a computer screen. It is specially designed to text documents and e-mail. (See Accessibar above for web browsing with speech)
