Out of curiosity, did you consider creating a browser extension version of your software? As a developer of a dictation extension for Chrome [0] I see that it gets a lot of use for accessibility purposes.

I once experimented with a tremor-compensating extension and some css that hid the “natural” cursor and overlaid a cursor image instead whose position I controlled (using a basic rolling window average to make it steady). This basic test seemed to hold up.

That could potentially open up a whole new market for you…? Just curious if you’ve considered this. Don’t hesitate to reach out by email too if this sounds interesting!

Can you hook the mouse in a browser extension?

[selcuka]

You can detect the location but no, you can't change the position of the pointer using Javascript.

you could draw a fake one

[gregsadetsky]

Exactly. You hide the native cursor with css and show an image on top of the page whose position you move around.

This would work visually but I think you'd run into a lot of edge cases where JS/CSS/the browser itself is expecting to hook into or access mouse APIs

Yeah, imagine fake mouse is clicking a Save-button, but real mouse is up in the corner clicking the browsers Close-button.
