Use your facial movements instead of a mouse & keyboard
Face control is an AI-powered feature that helps you maneuver around on your laptop by using facial movements and gestures instead of a mouse, trackpad or keyboard. Customise actions that work best for you, like lifting your eyebrows to click, moving the cursor with your eyes, and more, for increased productivity for those with limited hand dexterity, mobility, and those with their hands full.
Customise your keyboard
Typing and clicking can be challenging for those with limited dexterity. With Chromebook, you can customise the keyboard interaction through Accessibility settings, to help get more done with ease.
With mouse keys, control your mouse with your keyboard instead of using a standard mouse to relieve strain.
Bounce keys lets you set your keys to filter out redundant key presses within a customised time range, like 0.5 seconds.
And by using slow keys, you can eliminate accidental keystrokes by specifying how long a key needs to be pressed before it's accepted.
