Greg Sfarzo,
creator of the Sfarzo-Matic Overlay...
"I wanted
to make my life a little more exciting and productive in order
to meet my daily objectives. I wanted to simplify the process.
"
In a unique
customization for streamlining office work, this software can
program your keyboard with shortcuts to applications, files and
even text. A dramatic time-saver and adaptable to individual users
in the workplace, including workers with special needs.
"I tend
to use the same programs, files and Web sites on a daily basis,"
says Greg, "and found that I could save myself a lot of repetitive
steps and time with some simple programming.

"Now,
I can easily script a command to launch a program and open a document
in a single keystroke. For instance, if a customer calls and wants
information on our training capabilities, with one keystroke I
can launch Word, open our training document, and even send it
to the printer to print. Or I can script specific text that I
use over and over, such as my name and address, into a single
keystroke. I can even program a key to launch my Web browser and
go to a favorite Web site. Right now I have five Web sites programmed
to five keys, but if I want to replace one, it's easy to reprogram
a key and just print a new overlay for my keyboard."
(Works With Macintosh
and PC-Compatible Computers)

specified commands, you can create an overlay that is visual and
easier to operate than a traditional computer keyboard.
