About StrokeIt
StrokeIt is a mouse gesture recognition engine and command processor for Windows. The user holds the right mouse button and draws a shape on screen, and StrokeIt runs the action linked to that gesture. The homepage states that StrokeIt recognizes more than 80 pretrained gestures. Users can temporarily disable it by holding the Control key or right-clicking its system tray icon, and cancel a gesture in progress with a left click. The homepage describes the installer as about 140k, the recognition engine as about 15k, and typical memory use as between 90k and 300k. It requires no additional files or libraries.
StrokeIt supports plugins. The homepage says the source code for many plugins is available under the MIT License and that a Plugin SDK is available for creating new plugins. The homepage also describes a Pro version with Lua scripting and support for 4 and 5 button mice. StrokeIt is free for individual and not-for-profit charitable use, excluding governmental entities and educational institutions. For-profit businesses, governmental entities, and educational institutions can purchase licenses, which the homepage lists at $10 each. Distribution licenses are available for developers who want to bundle StrokeIt with their applications.
