Take control of your device.
Tecla provides access to Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers, for those who are unable to manipulate them due to disease or disability. With Tecla, you can take control of your computer or mobile device using the interfaces you are already familiar with, such as your wheelchair driving controls or adapted switches.
One of a kind.
The Tecla Shield DOS is the only switch interface that works with both iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) and Android mobile devices. Want to switch platforms later on? No problem! With the Tecla Shield DOS you will not have to buy another switch interface!Access more than just a few apps.
The Tecla Shield DOS allows you to explore the Home screen and launch applications just like anybody else. You can also navigate and interact with the built-in apps on iOS or Android devices to take photographs, listen to music, browse the internet, make phone calls and watch videos.
With the Tecla Shield DOS, you will also be able to access the on-screen keyboard to compose e-mails and messages, or enter text whenever you need to.
On iOS, DOS takes advantage of VoiceOver, Apple's in-built screen navigation technology, to access and control the iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch. On Android, DOS works in combination with the Tecla App for Android (available for free from the Google Play store).
System-wide voice assistance.
Whether you want to ask Siri to email your friend, or the Google voice assistant to skip to the next song, the Tecla Shield DOS will make it happen for you regardless of the number of switches you use! Single switch access to Siri? No problem!
The Tecla Shield DOS also enables switch access to the voice dictation key in the iOS or Android built-in keyboards. This allows you to use your voice to enter text into any text box. No more typing your e-mails or text messages, just speak your mind and let your device do the typing for you!
