Mind Express offers several accessible applications, and "Disney+," "Instagram," and "Netflix" are some of them! Using each of these apps requires you to have a personal subscription for each platform.
Accessible applications are specially programmed apps that allow the user to navigate the content of the app using a variety of access methods. The buttons are often larger than they would be in the standard version of the application, which allows individuals who may experience challenges with fine motor access to more easily utilize the program. The buttons are also accessible via other access methods such as switch scanning and eye gaze.
This article will explain how to use save your username and password for each app so you can avoid having to re-enter it each time you use them. Your WinSlate must be unlocked to use this application (How do I "unlock" my Forbes AAC device?)
First, open the accessible app that you would like to save login info for.
- Go to the "Portal" within the Mind Express Spark profile by selecting "Menu"
in the upper left corner and then selecting "Portal" from the dropdown. If you are already in the Portal, "Portal" will not be visible in the dropdown menu.
-
Open the "Accessible Apps" folder and locate the app you would like to program. Select the corresponding icon.
