Switch2Scan

Comprehensive scanning switch access to your iPad Apps, Music, and Photography

Switch2Scan is an iOS Voiceover access device and as such is intended for users with visual impairments. It affords the user full scanning access using Voiceover.

Although iOS Switch Control has largely overtaken Voiceover as a scanning switch access technique, the visually impaired can still benefit from using Voiceover and it is for these users that Switch2Scan is intended.

Another specific area where Switch2Scan excels is page turning in iBooks. The unit may be configured to achieve true single-click page turning – both page forward and page back – something which is not possible using Switch Control. Switch2Scan uses either the Voiceover feature available in all releases of iOS or the Switch Control feature, available in iOS 11. Whichever you choose, Switch2Scan makes scanning the user interface simple.

Press the QuickAccess button and the switches are automatically changed to space, enter, ~1 and ~3 without affecting the switch settings, allowing you quickly and easily access switch adapted apps and iOS Switch Control. One more press of QuickAccess and you’re back where you were.

If the user is neither visually impaired nor requires one-click access to iBooks page turning, APPlicator or iSwitch are other products to check out!

Connecting wirelessly to the iPad using Bluetooth 2.1, Switch2Scan is simple to set-up and easy to use. Includes programmable sockets to connect up to four wired switches.
