-Add graphics to support comprehension, especially for non-readers

THE NEW STANDARD OVERLAYS FOR THE USB INTELLIKEYS

Mouse Access USB Overlay
The Mouse Access USB Overlay can be used to operate programs that are accessed with a mouse. It has large keys, all mouse actions, and is accessible for both right- and left-handed users.

Math Access USB Overlay
The Math Access USB Overlay can be used with maths-related software programs, or to operate onscreen calculators, or enter data into spreadsheets. Standard numeric keypad keys are combined with keys useful for spreadsheet applications.

QWERTY/Web USB Overlays
The QWERTY/Web USB Overlay is designed to replicate a standard computer keyboard. It contains most keys found on standard
keyboards, plus special keys such as Mouse Control Keys. The high contrast keys are very legible.

Basic Writing Overlay
The Basic Writing USB Overlay is a simplified QWERTY keyboard for the beginning keyboard user. It includes keys most commonly used on a standard keyboard. Mouse Control Keys (upper right corner) replicate actions performed with a handheld mouse.

Alphabet USB Overlay
The Alphabet USB Overlay is designed as the first overlay a student uses. Since most children are familiar with alphabetical order, the keyboard layout is arranged from A-Z. This overlay has large keys, a student-friendly font and keyboard arrows that move a cursor in word processing programs. And ... all in lower case letters at last!

Setup USB Overlay
The Setup USB Overlay is used to set user preferences, perform troubleshooting, and do testing. It replicates most of the features and options found on the IntelliKeys USB onscreen control panel.
