“It’s given me a spark.”

The MouthPad^ is out in the world, transforming users’ lives at work, in play, and everything in between. For Keely Horch, a student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, the MouthPad^ is an essential tool in the classroom, and a “layer of freedom” wherever she goes.

“I’m excited about the future because of the independence I have now from the MouthPad^,” said Keely. “Being able to stay up late to do homework or play games, it gives me a sense of normalcy.”

“It's given me the motivation to want to take control of my life.”

An incoming sophomore, Keely is studying math and computer engineering. She uses her MouthPad^ to code, draw equations, and take notes during lecture, where voice control is not an option. Hear Keely's story in the video above.

This past year, Augmental has worked with 40 early-access customers, each with unique abilities or mobility challenges, to evolve the MouthPad^s capabilities and refine the onboarding journey.

The MouthPad^ Early Access program is quickly expanding to everyone in the US. Join our waitlist to reserve your spot! [augmental.tech/waitlist](https://www.augmental.tech/waitlist)
