Getting Started

Overview

Thank you for purchasing the BAT™Keyboard from Infogrip, Inc. This innovative data

entry device represents a dramatic step forward in the way information is entered into your

computer.

The BAT Keyboard is available in both right and left handed versions. Each keyboard is

capable of entering all the characters and functions of a traditional keyboard (plus many

more), even though it has only seven keys! Data is entered using either hand or by alternat-

ing between both hands.

A “chord” is a combination of keys which are pressed simultaneously and then released to

send a letter or command to your computer. Each BAT keyboard has three thumb keys (red,

black and blue) and four finger keys (all black). Normally, black keys pressed in combina-

tions will produce letters of the alphabet, while other combinations enter the cursor keys or

command sequences.

We hope you enjoy your BAT Keyboard. To get started, turn to section two in this manual

for complete installation instructions. Then try out the written tutorial. It only takes about

an hour to learn the chords for the alphabet, numbers and basic punctuation.

Getting Started

Where To Go From Here:

We realize that learning to chord will be a different experience. Most people take to it very

quickly, but not all people learn in the same way. For this reason, we have provided several

different ways to learn chording. Try each method, choosing those that seem to help you the

most.

The Written Tutorial

One of the best ways to learn the BAT Keyboard is to use the self-paced tutorial. It will take you through

a logical process of learning chords, starting with the easiest one-finger and five-finger chords, and pro-

gressing to the less frequently used combinations. Before beginning the tutorial, you may wish to review

the section titled Introduction to the BAT™ Keyboard which starts on page 14. The tutorial begins on page

26.

The BAT™ Keyboard Reference Guide

The BAT™ Keyboard Reference Guide is a stand-alone document which you will probably want to keep

near your computer.

The Reference Section

This section gives you a complete cross reference to all of the chords.

Your Favorite Word Processor or Typing Tutorial

Some people also choose to strike out on their own, keeping the manual and/or Reference Guide handy

while chording away in their favorite word processor or typing tutorial.

Conventions Used In This Manual

Throughout this manual the use of “BAT Keyboard” refers to both a single BAT keyboard or

two units connected to the computer at the same time.

Data is entered into the computer by pressing and then releasing a combination of keys,

called a .

A unique notation has been developed to describe which fingers should be pressed to create

a given chord. An example of this notation is shown below:

Figure 1.1: Notation example

For ease of reading, the notation is always expressed from right to left, thumb to little fin-

ger. This notation is convenient since it reads the same way your hand lays on the BAT. If a

box is darkened, the key for that finger should be pressed. Since the thumb is used for three

separate keys, it is represented by a colored circle in the notation.

When referring to

chord entry,

“pressing” means

pressing the

key(s) and then

releasing them.

Figure 1.1a: Example of all keys pressed

Sometimes the same notation is used to represent two different characters, as in the example

below:

Figure 1.2: Notation with two characters.

The first character results when the chord is entered normally. In order to enter the second

character, you must first press the  chord (Blue key). This is explained completely in

the Introduction to the BAT™ Keyboard and Tutorial sections. (The notation above is for

the characters “,” and “<”. You will learn how to enter these characters in the tutorial.)

Keys on your BAT Keyboard are identified by the finger used to press them. Thus the finger

under your little finger is called the “Little Finger” key. Other keys are referred to as the “Ring

Finger key”, “Middle Finger key” and “Index Finger” key. The thumb keys are referred to as

the “Red Thumb key”, the “Black Thumb key” and the “Blue Thumb key”.
