Software that does the clicks for you
What is click-less software?
Click-less software (sometimes referred to as auto-click software) is simple software, based on timing.
While click-less software reduces clicking, it does not eliminate movement of the mouse pointer.
You need to move the mouse pointer by hand and when you pause, the software does a click for you. The length of the pause required can be adjusted.
Note that click-less software will work with any mouse. It is not necessary to purchase a special mouse in order to use the software.
Viva Voce recommends, but does not sell click-less software.
It is useful to know that clicks can also be performed using Dragon (by saying "mouse click", "mouse double click", "mouse right click") however it can be very tedious to voice mouse clicks all day long.
A range of click-less software is available:
