Meet Keely, engineering student and Augmental MouthPad^ user

“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! www.augmental....

MouthPad is such a great name

[@andrewfurey3029]

This product is amazing. As someone with similar challenges to Keely, I'm glad she found you guys and regained access to computers. I have very little use of my hands and am dependent on a wheelchair, but I was still able to get a computer science degree. I don't know if Keely would be interested or how to contact her, but if she is interested I would be happy to talk with her and see if we can figure out some additional adaptive solutions to help her get through school. I love your work and look forward to seeing how this device evolves.

Inspiring Keely 💪 truly an example

[@commentBox82]

this is amazing. it is sad that big companies waste resources on ridiculous stuff when relatively simple solutions like this could make such a big impact on peoples' lives.

[@dianamiftakhova5047]

This is a brilliant device! I'm excited to see what you create next. Keep up the amazing work! Keely is also fantastic, and I'll definitely be following her work as well.

Aw man, I feel so bad that she had a stroke; I'm glad tech is making her more independent. I'm sure things will keep getting better with neural interfaces along the way. There just aren't enough people working on this stuff. You'd think a "mouth-mouse" would be a 10-15 year old tech, but it isn't and that's kinda sad

This is so amazing. Seeing her program with it is just incredible. Will this ever be available for everyone or only for people with disabilities? Really incredible.

The biggest fresh start of a person I have ever seen in my life. Super strong.
