Switch Access Scanning and AI Prediction

AI prediction in switch scanning works by observing which commands you select in sequence and then proactively moving likely next steps earlier in the scan cycle. This transforms scanning from a passive wait-for-your-turn experience into an active system that's learning your goals and clearing the path ahead.

Why It Matters

Switch access scanning is a method that allows people with severe motor disabilities to control devices using one or more simple switches, cycling through on-screen options until the desired item is selected.

AI enhances this process by predicting which items a user is most likely to select based on context and usage history, reducing the number of scan cycles required and making communication and navigation dramatically faster and less fatiguing.
