Swifty is Origin Instruments’ pocket friendly, USB switch interface. Its small size belies its full feature list and high performance. Swifty’s universal ability to work with practically any host computer, tablet, smartphone or Speech Generating Device (SGD) means you only need one switch interface for practically all your switch scanning requirements.
If your computer supports it, Swifty supports USB Remote Wakeup. Even if you’re not using Swifty for access you can use it to wakeup your computer.
Swifty can automatically detect a 3.5 mm mono or stereo plug, no need to configure for a single or dual switch. For the busy professional or overworked parent this feature will save time and eliminate many opportunities for confusion. Just plug in your switch(es) and let Swifty figure it out.
