Questions

What people ask before they print.

What is a keyguard?

A keyguard is a plate that sits over a tablet screen with a hole over each button. It lets a person with limited motor control rest their hand on the screen and press only the button they mean, which makes an AAC app much easier to use accurately.

How do I make a keyguard for an AAC app?

Take a screenshot of the AAC page on the tablet itself and drop it into Easy Keyguard. It detects the buttons, you pick the tablet from a library of 315 models, adjust the openings and bar width, then download an STL file and print it.

Which AAC apps does it work with?

Any AAC app, because it works from a screenshot. It has been tested on Avaz, NovaChat, Proloquo2Go, TD Snap, TouchChat, CoughDrop, Grid for iPad, LAMP Words for Life, Speak for Yourself and many more.

Which tablets are supported?

315 tablets across 30 brands, including iPads and Android tablets, with measurements taken from a device database so you do not need a ruler. You can also add your own tablet.

Do I need a 3D printer?

You need access to one. The keyguard prints flat with no supports in PLA on any home or library 3D printer, and a print guide comes with the download. You can also send the STL file to a local print service.

Is Easy Keyguard free?

Yes. It is free for personal use and needs no account. Therapists, schools and organisations can make keyguards for the people they support, as long as no one is charged for them.
