Helping people with impairments remove communication obstacles
KPR's enhances computer accessibility for people who are not well served by the typical keyboard and mouse. Their assistive technology software and research expertise focus on making it faster and easier for people with physical disabilities to use computers.
Client Outcomes
“Initial studies have shown that, by adjusting the settings to the user’s ability, you can boost their speed significantly. It’s a small population but a large potential impact.”
Transforming Accessibility for Single-Switch Users
The Scanning Wizard web app enables individuals with severe physical impairments to optimize their text-entry speed. Traditional single-switch scanning systems are slow and cumbersome, often limiting users to just one word per minute. Scanning Wizard evaluates each user’s response time and scanning effectiveness, then generates personalized recommendations to optimize their settings. The app saw a 70 percent average improvement in text-entry speed for single-switch users, and the maximum recorded improvement was 170 percent.
Tailored Algorithm for Optimized Text-Entry
Scanning Wizard dynamically adjusts text-entry settings based on real-time user assessments. The app provides individualized recommendations for scan speed, delays, and keyboard layout, maximizing efficiency for users with severe physical impairments.
Online & Offline Data Management
The app enables users to create an online account to store their results while also offering a robust offline mode with local data storage. This ensures continued functionality in diverse environments, particularly for users with limited internet access.
Empowering Practitioners with Administrative Tools
Healthcare professionals can utilize a special administrative version of the app to manage multiple users’ data, enabling better analysis and informed decision-making when configuring accessibility settings for disabled individuals.
