I'm using a device called a TrackerPro[0] which tracks a small reflective dot on my glasses, this translates my head movements into cursor movements. To initiate a left mouse click I use a [buddy button[1] under my right index finger, this means that using just my head and right index finger I can control the mouse just like anybody else.
To input any kind of text into the computer I use DragonDictate for Mac[2], this has the dual function of enabling me to do speech to text really well but also to trigger little shell scripts and AppleScript's I've written.
So, if I say "Xylophone Google" Dragon will recognise that as a command and jump to the Google homepage. That's just a really simple example of what you can do, but as you might imagine it's one I use a lot each day. :-)
