It can be used with switch adapted apps, iOS Switch Control/Android® Switch Access or simply to play music/video or take photos. APPlicator has been the Bluetooth switch access device of choice for teachers, OTs and health professionals alike since iPad was first adopted for AT use.
Now with added features, you really can improve on a winner!
If you would prefer your Bluetooth access device built into a switch, please consider iSwitch, which is very similar to APPlicator but built into a switch!
Accessing switch adapted apps could not be easier
- Pair APPlicator with your iPad® by selecting it in the Bluetooth menu (no PIN entry required)
- Connect any wired switches to one or more of the four, programmable, switch inputs.
- Using the built-in display, select the function of each switch from the choice of 24 keyboard/media commands. Any combination of switch functions is possible.
Taking pictures is a breeze
- Simply set a switch to ‘Volume Up’ and you’re all set to take pictures or video in the Camera app.
Accessing Music Playlist is a fun way to teach cause and effect
- Press the Quick Media button for preconfigured access to play/pause, skip forward, skip back and Timed Play (10 seconds)
- For more audio functions, use the built-in display to select from play/pause, skip forward, skip back, volume adjustment, timed play and mute.
- Play music in timed-play mode to add interest and inspiration, or as a ‘reward’ for successfully carrying out a task.
For higher functioning users- consider iOS Switch Control
- Set one or more switches to standard keyboard functions such as space and enter.
- Program these in the Switch Control menu to be functions such as ‘Move to Next Item’ and ‘Select Item’.
- Choose between automatic or manual scanning and then turn on Switch Control.
- The world is now your oyster- every aspect and facility of iPad can be accessed with either one or two switches. Please click on the ‘videos’ tab below for more details.
APPlicator or iSwitch
These products are very nearly the same in functionality. If you can use one, you can use either since they are programmed in exactly the same way. The choice between the two is largely a matter of what situation they are being used in and what needs the user may have. For carrying out assessments, we recommend APPlicator since it has the edge in terms of flexibility. Once the assessment of the user has been carried out using APPlicator, that’s the time to consider whether iSwitch may be a better alternative.
For example, if only one switch is required and it is to be placed on a desk or wheelchair table, iSwitch may be the best choice since it is completely wire free. On the other hand if the switches are built into the headrest of a wheelchair, APPlicator would be the best choice since there would be no benefit in a built-in switch.
