What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 9, 2026
The Solo Button is a small Bluetooth switch that sends a single activation signal to paired devices — tablets, computers, or AAC apps — when pressed. It's designed for people who use single-switch scanning to control technology, whether for communication, computer access, or switch-accessible apps and games. The button provides tactile, auditory, and visual confirmation of each press, which is helpful for users who benefit from multi-sensory feedback during scanning tasks. This is a component, not a complete solution — it pairs with switch-accessible software or an AAC system, and someone familiar with switch scanning setup (typically an SLP or OT) will need to configure the pairing and scanning parameters on the target device. Bluetooth pairing is straightforward, but choosing the right switch for a specific user and integrating it meaningfully into their setup really does benefit from professional guidance.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Press the button to feel, hear, and see the activation feedback — no pairing needed for this step. - With a guide
- Pair the Solo Button to the target tablet or computer via Bluetooth settings.
- Enable switch access or scanning in the device's accessibility settings or target app.
- Test and adjust scanning speed and step settings in the target software — expect 30–60 minutes with documentation. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- An occupational therapist (OT) or speech-language pathologist (SLP) should assess the user's motor access and determine optimal switch placement and activation force.
- Integration with AAC software or scanning apps typically requires 1–2 sessions to configure vocabulary, scanning patterns, and timing to the individual user.
