About One Switch Reader

For one-switch users wishing to browse freely through individual Kindle, Word, PDF documents and web-pages, this simple PC utility should allow you to do so.

This utility needs to be downloaded, unzipped, started and then positioned on top of a running document or web-page. It is designed to be used with one accessibility switch set to act as the "1" key.

Useful One Switch Reader links

Adobe Reader: Free PDF format reader.
Free On-line Novels: There's thousands like this.
Kindle: Free PC Kindle reader.

N.B.Within the One Switch Reader download are two alternative "AutoHotKey" scripts that do a very similar job, but without the on-screen arrow. Thanks to Tim Brogden and Bruce MacMichael.
