The ClickToPhone enables a person who cannot press the keys of a mobile phone to operate the phone with a single switch, a 5 switch device or the joystick on their powered wheelchair. All the Phone’s functions can be accessed through the ClickToPhone software. For example the Phone can be answered, the contacts list can be browsed, text messages to be sent etc.
An interface box is supplied for switch users. This wireless Bluetooth device accepts either a single switch input or a 5 switch device such as a TASH mini joystick.
For a powered wheelchair user the mobile phone can be operated without any additional hardware directly from a Genie joystick or Genie+ master remote.
The ClickToPhone software will run on any Windows Mobile 2003, 2005 or 2006 SmartPhone. The software presents a series of grids to the user, much like an On-Screen keyboard for a computer. When the software begins it attempts to connect with the ClickToPhone hardware or a Genie joystick. Once connected the switch or joystick can be used to navigate the phone.
