Paint is already on most Windows PCs and turns slow, steady pointer movement into art.
Open Paint and pick a thick brush and a bright colour.
Say "hold left" to press the button down.
Move your nose slowly to draw a line.
Say "release left" to lift the brush.
Say "undo" if you want to try again.
Pacing: Draw shapes before pictures. Rest your neck between strokes.
Arts
Fill-and-colour pictures
Click-to-fill is a great first art activity: one click, big result.
In Paint or a browser colouring site, choose the fill bucket.
Hover over an area and click.
Pick another colour and repeat.
Pacing: Ideal for building click accuracy. 5–10 minutes.
Arts
Browser drawing tools
Many web drawing tools work with click and drag.
Open a drawing site in your browser.
Use "hold left" / "release left" to drag.
Save with the "save" command or the site's save button.
Pacing: Third-party sites have their own requirements and may change.
Gaming
Turn-based and pointer games
Games where you take your time — card games, puzzles, chess, point-and-click adventures — suit nose control well.
Choose a game that only needs pointing and clicking.
Set FaceNav sensitivity for precision, not speed.
Use "butterfly" to pause the cursor while you think.
Pacing: Not a compatibility guarantee: games handle input differently.
Gaming
Keyboard-mapped games
Some games need keys. FaceNav speech covers common ones: up, down, left, right, enter, space.
Pick a simple game controlled by arrow keys and space.
Say the direction you want to move.
Try "space" to jump or select.
Pacing: Speech has a small delay; slower games work best.
Apps
Write in Microsoft Word
Dictate text and edit it hands-free.
Open Word and click in the document.
Say "transcribe" and speak your sentence.
Say "stop transcribe" when finished.
Use "save" to save.
Pacing: Short paragraphs, then read back. Speech is English.
Apps
Present with PowerPoint
Run your own presentation.
Open your slides and start the slideshow.
Say "page down" or "right" for the next slide.
Say "page up" or "left" to go back.
Pacing: Rehearse once before presenting to others.
Services
Browse the web
Read news, watch videos and search the web.
Open your browser.
Click the address bar and say "transcribe" to type a search.
Say "enter" to search, "page down" to read on.
Pacing: Large browser zoom (Ctrl +) makes links easier to hit.
Services
Send an email
Keep in touch independently.
Open your email app or webmail.
Click New, then click into each field.
Transcribe your message and say "stop transcribe".
Click Send yourself — check it first.
Pacing: Copy and paste commands help with addresses.
Comfort first. Use small movements, take rest breaks, and stop if anything is uncomfortable. An adult or supporter can help with setup. FaceNav is an access tool, not a medical treatment.
