I have a system called a Darci Card that I use to type on my IBM
Compatible PC. It is a Morse code recognition system. I do input in
Morse code by means of a puff 'n sip switch. This switch operates by
means of a breath tube through which I puff for a dot, sip for a dash.
My computer, with the Darci Card and the accompanying software, is a able
to recognize Morse code. Each letter, punctuation, function keys,
command key, numbers, etc. has its own Morse code command. The Darci
Card also allows me to move the mouse pointer with Morse code to do
Windows. It's a great system!
