In 2013 i suffered a car accident and lost all my movements from the neck down since then I have been striving daily to get my movements back and I got some of those back but they are "simple" movements like raising and lowering the arms, putting force on the legs. Nothing like touching the phone or use the computer for example. As i always liked to use the computer my parents bought a wireless mouse and keyboard, so I say what to do, like click here or there, scroll down or up... And they do as ask.

In search of more autonomy they recently bought the PC Eye Mini and I would like to know tips and possible softwares or accessories to assist in this process of Integration in the use of the computer. If possible a software to use my voice to type.

FYI I'm Brazilian, so I apologize for any word that's wrong.

Other thing, I love games. So if you know any game that is easy to play and dont have time limit to end my turn (because I still getting used to the program).

Have you considered the mouth control device?  It has been around for quite a while.

Microsoft has an adaptive controller also - https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/xbox-adaptive-controller

 

These are just a couple things I know of..  maybe a combination with some speech to text software?  I hope you figure something out!

The best one has always been Dragon.  I have no experience with this software, so I would research it!  

 

But this is the cheapest/home version of it: https://shop.nuance.com/store/nuanceus/en_US/Content/pbPage.dragon-home?pgmid=4990661100&PID=7235723&CID=7010W000002GDURQA4&utm_source=commissionjunction&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=DHK-AO-2020-DragonPC_Ecom_Affiliate_CommisionJunction&cj_affiliate=4098757&adid=10793172&cjevent=b4ce687eb2c111eb8304003a0a1c0e14&currency=USD

Windows has built-in voice to text. It's not bad but not as accurate as Dragon. It's under Accessibility.
