ECTmorse (EyeComTec Morse) is a program which was developed to allow users to type text with universal Morse code.

It can be used as an assistive technology for patients with various forms of paralysis. It is also useful for people with diseases which can significantly reduce motor activity. Due to its low technical requirements, the program can be launched on virtually any personal computer or laptop. Furthermore, the ECTmorse program is portable, meaning that it can be launched from any external data storage device without a long installation procedure.

The program is intuitive and very easy to use. ECTmorse can be controlled with one single button. The usage of one controlling channel makes it possible to offer this program to fully paralyzed patients, who have eye movement only. In such cases, an eye-tracking device or specialist equipment for eyelid- tracking is required. The typed information is shown in the main window of the program, in form of a text file or in Morse code, making it possible to check its accuracy.

The program has a very convenient interface, providing a wide choice of settings and parameters. Users can set the volume and frequency of sounds to play, time intervals for any action, and define special controlling commands, which are performed after predefined periods of idle time or while holding down a key.

The ECTmorse program has several language settings installed, which make it easy and convenient for users from various parts of the world. This program works in English by default.

ECTkeyboard is a program included in a set of assistive applications developed by the EyeComTec Company (www.eyecomtec.com). ECTkeyboard is a virtual keyboard (symbol matrix) where the user can select letters, numbers or even commands by pressing a button or a pedal. This application can also be used in conjunction with eye-tracking devices, allowing users to select a symbol from a matrix by changing their sight direction.

The main idea of ECTkeyboard is to provide paralyzed patients and people with significant motor activity problems with a solution and a possibility to communicate.

The application is totally portable and doesn’t require installation, allowing users to launch it from any external storage device. An unlimited amount of user profiles, as well as the possibility to switch them ‘on the fly’ allows the use of ECTkeyboard in various medical and rehabilitation centers. This application is incredibly convenient to use. Thus, a patient can freely use it in just a couple of minutes after the very first launch.

Users can change the interface layout of the program in order to create a convenient atmosphere. The user can change the number of rows and columns in the matrix of symbols, change the cell order, as well as change colors and various fonts of all the elements of the application. It’s possible to select the size of the font and set a high contrast color scheme, which makes this application comfortable and easy for visually impaired patients. Users can also enable sound confirmation of all highlighted letters or symbols.

Another great and unique feature of ECTkeyboard is the variable speed of matrix symbol iteration. During the first period, when the user is just starting to get used to the application, a low speed of iteration allows them to understand the interface and remember all letter and symbol positions. A high speed can be useful for those who already know the application and can use it for fast text typing.

ECTcamera (EyeComTec Camera) is a convenient software solution created to work with any web camera or any other video-capturing device connected to a PC or a laptop. ECTcamera has a really convenient and simple user interface and allows the user to scale the visible image area, save screenshots of the whole screen or its parts, and supports a wide range of devices, providing automatic identification of connected hardware. It supports various working resolutions of web cameras and many other settings.

The program is portable, light, and doesnt require installation or registry modification, allowing the user to launch it from any external data storage device. It also allows working with so-called hotkeys. ECTcamera is a fully customizable application, thus the user can zoom the image in or out, change the shift step, as well as the size and position of the main window of the program and the compression ratio of saved screenshots. The flexibility of ECTcamera makes it possible to use any third-party video stream processing solution.

ECTcamera supports working with the command prompt and additional parameters, making it possible to use various scheduling and time-management programs to launch applications according to a schedule. Due to this fact, the program can reduce RAM usage, which permits using ECTcamera even on budget laptops. Furthermore, the application supports an unlimited amount of configuration files, switching between various ECTcamera settings really quickly, which can be handy for working with various video-capturing devices or for operation on different computers.

This program is really easy to use, and provides fast configuration and intuitive controls. Initial configuration of ECTcamera takes less than a minute, while switching between various configuration files (which contain different video output parameters, windows layout, shift step, etc.) in a couple of seconds.
