Product Description: 

The Hawking Toolbar is a free and customizable plug-in for the Firefox web browser that frees individuals with severely limited motor abilities to explore the internet, without limits.

Main Features: 

  • By using the Hawking Toolbar, the standard Firefox browser automatically cycles through the links of a web page, highlighting each link for a short period.
  • The plug-in also provides buttons that are cycled through: Back, Home, Favorites, and Options.
  • When the page is complex or has many links, the page may be broken into sections (typically the visible page will be divided into quadrants or widget/ frame areas).  The browser will then cycle through these regions, highlighting each before scrolling down to the next part of the page.  If the user selects a region then it is explored more fully by cycling through its component links or widgets.  This option of region-scanning is a user-selectable choice
  • Each user may customize the appearance and behavior of the link scanner to provide sufficient visual (and possibly audio) clues, and to provide the reaction time appropriate for each user to select a link, according to their specific needs.
