The purpose of the study was to develop a computer access assessment system for improving computer access of individuals with physical disabilities for the first time in Korea. Korea-Computer Access Assessment System (K-CAAS) presented in this article tests five user skills of aim, drag, menu, scan, and switch. Skill levels of the five test areas could be set as low, middle, and high according to individuals' characteristics. All tests have their default set in each level, and skill levels can be selected and controlled by the abilities and goals of a user. Tests could be selected for users' training and their results could be traced and shown. Therefore, the K-CAAS is a training program to improve computer access skills as well as an assessing program. It would help users with physical disabilities operate a computer by themselves as improving their computer access skills.

In this paper, we did pursue the embodiment of a mouse pointing system which help the handicapped and people of not familiar with using electronics use electronic devices easily. Speech Recognition and 3-axis acceleration sensors in conjunction with a headset, a new mouse pointing system is constructed. We used speaker dependent system module which are generating the BCD code by recognizing human voices because it has high recognition rate rather than speaker independent system. Head-set mouse system is organized by 3-axis accelerometer, sound recognition module and TMS320F2812 processor. The main controller, TMS320F2812 DSP-processor is communicated with main computer by using SCI communications. The system is operated by Visual Basic in PC.
