And there are also full Speech Generation software packages available such as:

Each of them have a variety of on-screen keyboards that can be used with eye tracking. One big advantage of these specialty speech generation software packages, is the larger buttons and the integration with environmental controls and other communication programs like email, texting, word documents and web pages.
