Can't access Android? Control it from your wheelchair or switches with Tekla!

Tekla is a set of open software and hardware tools that facilitate access to electronic devices for people with mobility impairments.

The Tekla App is an input method that enables external switch access to Android. This is a special kind of application that integrates tightly with the operating system enabling access to most of its functions.

Tekla supports wireless control of Android, via an on-screen keyboard, directly from a powered wheelchair or standard ability switches connected to a Tekla Shield:
