Hola all,

  How would you call an accessible, mobile alternative input method
(a.k.a. on-screen keyboard)?

  Some pointers to help you think of a name:

 * Will implement switch access
 * Will implement self- and/or user-scanning
 * Initially implemented on Android & Blackberry
 * Could make use of mobile sensors (e.g., touch, accelerometers) to
implement internal switches
 * Target users are people with mild to severe motor impairments
 * Designed to allow direct access to the device's own UI
 * Should implement both hardware (e.g., power button, volume) &
character keys
 * For powered wheelchair users it will connect directly to their
wheelchair interface
 * Sends external switch events via bluetooth
 * Is open source

Looking forward to your suggestions!

Jorge
