Eye Tracking can be used with Dragon, however, drawing can be highly inaccurate and difficult, especially if you’re using it to draw intricate lines, curves, circles, etc. You can use eye tracking with drawing software such as paint that have “stencilized” or pre-programmed shapes that would assist with drawing.

I recommend looking into Tobii Tech for their external eye tracker that can be used with Windows Laptops (newer).

Eye strain…the more you use it, the better you can understand when to pause and rest etc. At first the user will likely feel as if they have to always stare at the computer screen. It definitely takes months of getting used to.

Reach out if you have any questions 😊

This is not eye gaze, but if there is any movement of the head, you might be able to use this SmartNav Head Tracker which has worked well for people I have worked with and the cost is reasonable.

The trials are typically free.

It is more about the access point to which the person requires, and if there is someone that can provide an assistive technology consultation, that might be the best way to know what might work for them. The Vocational Rehabilitation program in your state might be able to assist with that consultation.

Hi ATHEN,

Happy Monday!
What eye gaze technology would you recommend for students needing to complete higher levels of math and physics that include drawings?
Has any eye gaze technology been paired with Dragon Naturally Speaking so a student could use both voice and eye gaze?
Does the eye gaze technology cause eye strain, or no more than would looking at a computer screen without using it?

Thank you!
Robin
