AQLS Alphabetic

Logo for AQLS, Adult QUick Learning SystemThe 'Adult Quick Learning System (AQLS)' was designed for people who have something called Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis, sometimes called 'Lou Gehrig's disease in the US, or 'Motor Neurone disease (MND)' in the UK.

The Alphabetic Version uses a number of sequences for quick access to many words and phrases, but uses Word Prediction to supplement the pre-stored vocabulary. This means that people with a degenerative condition can use spelling immediately to help them, and then increase their speed by learning the shortcuts provided by sequencing.

  • 29 single-hit words

  • 53 double-hit words

  • 53 letters, bigrams, trigrams, numbers

  • 550 pre-stored words in total

  • Word Prediction

  • Computer access using keystroke commands

If you want to add Mouse Movement commands as used in the Unity 128 program, the instructions are on my "AQLS Mouse Movements" page.
