I just released SP Grids© 8. This is a standalone pointer grid for hands-free users with many options like real-time setting of the amount of columns and rows (up to a thousand cells), displaying horizontal halves or vertical halves, 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4, grid color and transparency.  

 

You also have the option to cover the taskbar only.

 

 

 

 

 

Please note that this grid supports single monitor setup only.

 

 

Grids© 8 comes with an extensive Help file.

 

 

Here is the Grids© 8 Demonstration Video:

 

 

 

 

Grids© 8 is available in the Speech Productivity Standalone Modules section for just $15.

Nice grid! And as always, your videos are amazing - I think your radio voice helps! Lots of work goes into the videos too, no doubt. To speed up grid painting, I always imagined a command that would paint a little grid, say 2 inches, around my target point. My voice command to bring up the grid could include an estimated coordinate. The grid would draw a small 2x2 inch grid around my target point, and then I could specify the cell number of my click point. All this is based on me knowing where I want to click (approximately) before I bring up the grid.

Maybe you could use that idea in a future version of the grid.

I made this proposed grid some time ago, but was never happy with it because the numbering covered the target area making it hard to know which grid point to call. One solution would be to make the numbering very tiny, which doesn't help now that I have lost my eagle quality eyesight.

I have seen another solution with the Apple grid where they show such a box "when you drill down using their "mousegrid". Where once you get small enough it shows an empty grid box with another larger grid box with corresponding numbers that you can associate to the smaller grid.

After briefly perusing the documentation*, I think that kkkwj's proposal is already somewhat achievable (though somewhat in reverse). Try saying "grids two by two" (or "grids three by three" or "grids four by four"). It looks like you are offered a choice of locations for the resulting grid. Alternately, any of the non-full-screen grids may be moved around on screen once opened.
*I do not have the application installed (I use SP Pro)

If I were writing the grid, I would not put cell numbers in the cells for the design I am talking about. I would label every fifth line or so and let the user count a few cells over to the desired cell. That way, you could have smaller (unlabeled) cells while still making it easy for users. I use a grid of physical threads on my screen that are spaced by %-of-screen: 5,10,20,30,40, 60,70,80,90,95. It's pretty easy for me to nail buttons by voice, even with those HUGE 2-inch square empty cells. I would be much more accurate if my big 2-inch cells had 10 lines in them. Maybe the 5th line could be drawn in a different color to enable me to count from the nearest 5th cell in the small grid that was drawn. Maybe I will make my own grid one day, but it's low on my list because I don't really need it. :-) (Another example of programmers "scratching the itch that bothers them" (or not, in my case). :-)

The Grid in SP 7 PRO has the option to immediately (and quite precisely) place the cursor without showing the actual Grid lines. This comes a little bit closer to your concept. 

 

If I remember correctly Tom has added the functionality to additionally place the pointer in the North, South, East, West location of any specific Grid cell, which greatly adds to the precision.  

 

This specific feature is currently not yet available in SP 7 PRO but Tom may either add this as an update or make this Grid version available as a standalone module.
