Tento balík obsahuje démona a niektoré aplikácie panelu vylepšujúce prístupnosť myši v pracovnom prostredí GNOME. Sú to nasledovné vylepšenia:

  • možnosť klikať bez použitia tlačidla
  • schopnosť vyvolať kontextové menu pomocou jednotlačidlovej myši (ako v Mac OS)
  • zachytenie ukazovateľa myši do oblasti až do jeho uvoľnenia pomocou preddefinovanej kombinácie klávesov

TuxTyping je vzdelávacia hra s výukou písania na stroji s linuxovým tučniakom Tux. Hráč sa snaží viesť Tuxa tak, aby zjedol ryby, ktoré padajú z hornej časti obrazovky. Každá ryba má na sebe nejaké písmeno. Akonáhle hráč toto písmeno stlačí, Tux sa premiestni tak, aby túto rybu zjedol. Cieľom hry je naučiť deti písať na klávesnici, ale obsahuje aj náročné úrovne, ktoré zvládnu len tí najpokročilejší pisári.

CellWriter je panel na písanie rukou do tabuľky. Počas písania znakov do buniek sa vaše písmo okamžite rozpoznáva na úrovni znakov. Keď v paneli stlačíte Enter, zadaný vstup sa pošle aplikácii, ktorá je práve aktívna, ako keby bol napísaný na klávesnici.

  • rozpoznáva štýl pisateľa - učí sa vaše písmo na zlepšenie rozpoznávania
  • korekčné algoritmy počítajú s šumom digitalizéra, rôznym poradím ťahov, smerom a počtom ťahov
  • podpora Unicode vám umožňuje písať v rodnom jazyku

Dasher je informačne efektívne rozhranie na zadávanie textu ovládané prirodzenými, súvislými ukazovacími gestami. Dasher je konkurencieschopný systém na zadávanie textu všade tam, kde nie je možné použiť klávesnicu - napríklad

  • na palmtopovom počítači
  • na počítači v oblečení
  • pri práci s počítačom jednou rukou, s joystickom, dotykovou obrazovkou, trackballom alebo myšou
  • pri práci s počítačom bez rúk (napr. s myšou na hlave alebo sledovaním očí)

Verzia Dashera so sledovaním očí umožňuje skúsenému používateľovi písať text rýchlosťou bežného písania rukou - 25 slov za minútu. Pomocou myši dokážu skúsení používatelia písať rýchlosťou až 39 slov za minútu.

Dasher používa pokročilejší algoritmus predpovedania ako systém T9(tm) (často používaný v mobilných telefónoch), ktorý zvyšuje jeho citlivosť na okolitý text.
