About Hook+
Hook+ is a switch interface accessory designed for use with Switch
Control found in iOS 8 or later. Unlike some switch interfaces,
Hook+ does not send emulated keystrokes (e.g. Space, Enter, 1,
etc.) for switch clicks. Instead, Hook+ uses Apple's new Assistive
Switch Events for switch clicks.
Using Assistive Switch Events instead of emulated keystrokes for
iOS devices provides the following benefits:
› Switch Control can be auto configured based on the number of
switches attached to the iOS device
› An external keyboard can be used in conjunction with Hook+
without having switch clicks misregister when certain keyboard
keys are activated
› Switch interface accessories using Assistive Switch Events are
fully compatible with iOS Switch Control and apps that have
implemented the Apple iOS UIAccessibility protocol
Hook+ is compatible with iOS 8 or later and most apps that
implement the Apple iOS UIAccessibility protocol. iOS device must
have a Lightning Receptacle.
