What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

Switch2Scan is a small Bluetooth switch interface that lets someone control an iPad using one or more wired switches instead of touching the screen. It scans through items on screen, either automatically or one step at a time by hand, so it works for apps, turning pages in iBooks, and typing on the on-screen keyboard. You can plug in up to four wired switches, pick from four scanning speeds, and scan forward or backward. This is the interface only, so you'll need your own switch or switches, and the listed compatibility covers older iPad, iPod and iPhone models.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    1. Charge the built-in battery with the included USB cable.
    2. Pair it with the iPad over Bluetooth. No PIN is needed.
  • With a guide
    1. Plug your switches into the sockets and set up the scanning mode, speed and direction that suit the user.
    2. Plan on about 30 to 60 minutes to try the settings with the person who will use it. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    An occupational therapist, speech-language pathologist or ATP can help choose the right switch and switch site, and set scanning speed and mode for the user's abilities. Allow one or more sessions to fine-tune.
