Key Guides

Purpose

Key guides are used by people who aren't able to speak and don't have fine motor skills. The guide assists talking apps which have pictures that, when clicked on, verbalize the image. Using the guide, one can feel when they are about to enter a new box and can have more control over which box they press.

What I did
