Augmental Launches Tongue-Controlled MouthPad Mouse

Augmental initiated public sales in the United States for its MouthPad, a computer mouse operated exclusively by tongue movements, on March 18, 2024. This innovative device allows users to navigate and control their computers without using their hands, offering a new accessibility solution. The MouthPad utilizes advanced sensor technology to interpret subtle tongue gestures, translating them into cursor movements and clicks.

Alongside the MouthPad's commercial release, Augmental also launched a beta version of Vox, a new hands-free dictation software. Vox is designed to work in conjunction with the MouthPad, enabling users to dictate text and commands seamlessly. This dual release aims to provide a comprehensive hands-free computing experience, catering to individuals with mobility impairments or those seeking enhanced productivity through alternative input methods.

The company stated that the MouthPad is now available for purchase through its official website. Pricing details were not immediately disclosed, but Augmental indicated that the device is intended to be an accessible and effective alternative to traditional input devices. The beta program for Vox is open to early adopters who wish to test and provide feedback on the dictation capabilities.
