Needing only a single switch as an input device, nohandcom software gives unlimited access to all the features of this exciting platform: Phone, SMS, MMS, Email, Internet, Writing, Reading, Music, Video, Calendar and much more.

The Crosshairs: fastest single switch input method
With Crosshairs, there comes an effective, fast and simple input method to PDAs. It gives the possibilty to make a touchscreen input at any coordinate with only three clicks - an efficiency that even most Desktop PC mouse input emulators don't achieve.
A first click starts a horizontal line that moves downwards across the screen. A second click starts the vertical line. A third click makes a touchscreen input at the point of the intersection - done! With it comes an easy and intuitive interface that allows the user to switch fast between stylus input and text input mode. With these two alone, 95% of all input can be handled.

nohandcom on PDA/PDA-Phones as a communicator replacement
For those needing augmentive communication (ALS, Locked-In, CP etc) in addition to being physically unable to handle a phone, there is the possibilty to combine nohandcom with any of the already available augmentive communication systems that run on PDAs.
Many communicators have the disadvantage that they can "only" be used for communication. For those not going to school, communicaion situations arise only during a small fracture of the day. During the rest, the communicator is a mostly unused burden that needs to be carried around. Not so if it comes as a combination of a PDA with augmentive communication facilities: the device can be used in many ways apart from communication: "Offline" communication (SMS, MMS, Email), gaming, reading, Internet and much more. "Empty" time -of which there is sadly an abundance for those suffering from severe disabilities- can so be used in an independent way: productivity, creativity and recreation.
