[senit] Typing tutor software for the blind?

Check out the CyKey on http://www.cykey.co.uk/

It is the descendant of the Microwriter keyboard, and is a simple one handed
keyboard with an infra red USB connection to a PC.

Years ago, I had a lot to do with Microwriting and the wild claims that you
could learn to touch type in one hour are all true.

I have no commercial connection, although I know the person who makes them,
but I have to own up to a commercial interest in the other half of my
answer. 

AllWrite is a program we developed to help visually impaired people to start
typing.  Working on the assumption that learning to type, spell, use a
screen reader and learn a Word processor all at once is a tough call, we
developed a talking word processor that can use the keyboard shortcuts from
all the popular screen readers (HAL, JAWS, Window-Eyes, LookOut etc).  It is
the only talking word processor with completely interactive speech on the
editing keys, menus and dialogue boxes.

Hi
Can anyone help with the near impossible
Is there any software which might help someone blind learn to type - the 
extra need being they can only use one hand

Thanks in anticipation
