Are you like many people in this keyboarding age whose arms, wrists, or hands hurt from typing or mousing too much? Even if you don’t have full blown RSI or carpal tunnel, pain after using the computer too much can be disabling, and a signal that you may be in store for worse if you don’t change things. So what can you do?

Keyboard shortcuts are a quick way of getting many things done without needing to access the menus or the mouse. If you know to press command-s to save your work, you’ve used a keyboard shortcut. For people who primarily use a keyboard or a switch interface, using keyboard shortcuts can save a lot of time and effort.

One feature missing from the still-new MacSpeech Dictate program is the ability to control the mouse. This addition won’t let you control the movement of the mouse, but we can teach you how to use your voice for mouse clicks. For those who have the ability to move the mouse, this could make the difference between a usable computer system and an unusable computer system.

You probably click your mouse hundreds of times a day, thousands of times a week. ClickNoMo lets you rest your tendons while you continue to work and get things done by automatically clicking the mouse for you when you bring the mouse to a short stop in any one position. You can select left mouse click, right mouse click, double click, or even click-and-drag, as you need to.

LazyMouse looks like a useful utility for users who have trouble moving the mouse – it jumps the mouse cursor to the default button when a dialog box pops up, and optionally jumps the mouse back to its original position when the dialog is dismissed.
