Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The keypad snaps on without pairing or software, so the hardware attachment is immediate. However, getting full benefit requires understanding the LyriQ's navigation model and which granularity level (character/word/sentence/paragraph) to use in different contexts — a 30-minute walkthrough with documentation is realistic for most users, putting this at guided setup rather than self-serve.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 16, 2026

This wireless keypad is an add-on accessory for the LyriQ OCR reader — a dedicated text-to-speech scanning device for people with vision loss or print disabilities. It snaps onto the back of the LyriQ and adds physical navigation buttons that let users move through scanned text character by character, word by word, by sentence, or by paragraph, which is useful for anyone who wants more precise control than the base unit's interface provides. This is not a standalone product — it only works with the LyriQ reader, which must be purchased separately. If you're considering this for someone who needs fine-grained navigation through documents (for example, a student reviewing a textbook or someone checking correspondence closely), the keypad can make that process more deliberate, but the LyriQ itself is the larger investment to evaluate first.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    Snap the keypad onto the back of an existing LyriQ OCR reader — no pairing or software required.
  • With a guide
    1. Confirm the LyriQ firmware is up to date before attaching.
    2. Review the LyriQ user guide for keypad navigation commands (character, word, sentence, paragraph levels). Allow 15–30 minutes to become comfortable with navigation modes. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
