You could always pull away from the visual design of it and use a different kind of user input, any would do. 
You could use some form of controller through [hid] (although this tends to wind up specific to the controller). Even play a tone and use a mic, through [sigmund~] 
I would suggest, for a start, use [key] or [keyname] which return the number or name of keys pressed. the trick is to make what you're displaying on screen correlate to the keys a user is pressing. Perhaps try a 3x3 grid in gem to relate to your keyboard's number pad. Or get creative... 
If you're on a mac you could use this combination
[say *key name*( |[shell]
to speak the key which needs to be pressed, although this can be a little slow.
Hope you get some inspiration from this
Andrew
