Switch2Scan was conceived prior to iOS Switch Control and was therefore developed to utilize the iOS “Voiceover” capability. If you need scanning access to an iPad and have a device running iOS7 or later (when “Switch Control” was introduced) then the APPlicator or iSwitch is likely to be a better choice, unless one of the following applies:
- The user is Visually Impaired and needs switch access- in which case they will still benefit from using Voiceover.
- If you are familiar and comfortable with Voiceover and need a simple method of page-turning in iBooks.
- You have an original iPad (identifiable because there is no camera), in which case you cannot install iOS7 or newer.
If any of these apply to you, then Switch2Scan may be a better choice, so please READ ON!
