OSWORD 71 was allocated to HowSoft in the early 1990s and was used for controlling the keyboard and mouse emulation of 'Talkers' – speech synthesisers and communication aids used by people with various speech and movement restrictions (as famously utilised by Prof. Hawking). It was used in software distributed by Liberator Ltd (Prentke Romich).
