Gestures2Launch makes it much easier for anyone who finds it difficult to use a mouse and keyboard and negotiate the menu system, adds improved productivity for all
Taipei, May 14th, 2013 – Linpus, a leader in the field of innovative consumer friendly software for mobile devices, today announced the availability of a new edition of its touch gestures application and the availability of the full version on Windows 8 store. Linpus Gesture2Launch has received very positive reviews from Engadget and Ultrabook, among others since its launch in March.
Linpus Gesture2Launch is a powerful gesture based application for those with learning disabilities that make it more difficult for them to use a mouse and keyboard and negotiate the launcher menu system on Windows 8. It is also a useful all round productivity tool as it makes it easier and faster to launch applications on Windows 8 and help Windows 8 users who miss the Windows Start menu. It offers an alternative to the familiarity of the Windows Start menu by delivering productivity, speed and ease-of-use by means of touch gestures: simply write a gesture anywhere on the screen to launch an application or a complete a task like restarting your computer. By writing directly on the screen it means you don't have to swipe and tap through many layers of the Windows 8 unfamiliar menu system.
Linpus Gesture2Launch not only allows you to launch applications but also predefined actions like – as mentioned above – restarting your computer, turning off or on Bluetooth, changing a wallpaper and locking the screen, among many others. In the case of restarting your computer you are clearly saving 3 or 4 taps and swipes as well the effort of negotiating the Windows 8 menu system.
A full list of features are below:
Create your own gestures
1) Utilize the letters “a” to “z” as predefined gestures.
2) Map gestures to any application in your system.
3) In addition, map to 30 commonly used actions, for example, Restart or Lock Screen.
4) Easily map and then change mapping through intuitive UI.
5) Write on both the traditional desktop and Metro mode to launch
