Question for Skoog

Hi Skoog, I bought a unit and am exploring the apps. I have two questions regarding potential uses for the device:

1) Do you know if it’s possible to set up Switch Control to perform actions in Safari? It could be neat to use the Skoog for, say, navigating forward and back, similar to swiping right or left with Magic Trackpad.

2) have you created any mappings for (external )music programs, like Ableton ot Logic? Or any iOS apps like Beatmaker or any AUv3 plugins? This would be super cool, I know I can do it but I seem to flub something when trying.

I said two questions but zi realize now my kids would appreciate me asking if Skoog can be mapped to any games. Something like Super Mario or Tetris with relatively few buttons could potentially be played using just the device.

Thanks for keeping the apps/firmware updated! You’ve built a cool thing here, much appreciated.

Great fun!

This app is great! The voices are great and the app is easy to use. Lots of fun with the skoog triggering phrases and playing around with the speed and pitch of the voice. Simple to set up as a switch control, can see this being really useful for people.

How does Skoog Access help with communication?

Skoog Access allows you to create a five-button interface on your device where each button can represent a word, phrase, or emoji. When pressed, these inputs are spoken aloud using a customizable voice and speech rate. You can also assign custom images to each button to aid in word association.

Can Skoog Access be used for switch control?
