The world’s firsthands-free touchpad.

The MouthPad seen from the front: a clear custom-fit retainer with a gold touchpad at its center and gold flexible circuitry curving out to the side electronics, one of which shows a small green status light, lit against a white field.

MouthPad is a custom-fit mouthpiece that turns subtle tongue and head movements into precise control of your phone, tablet, and computer.

The mouth is a new interface.

MouthPad translates small, natural movements into cursor control, clicks, scrolling, and dragging. No hands. No wires. Worn discreetly inside your mouth.

Cursor control, from the roof of your mouth.

Tomás looks up with his mouth open, the MouthPad fitted to the roof of his mouth. In his other hand a phone shows the MouthPad app, its touchpad and force readout moving as his tongue drives the cursor.

MouthPad is the mouse. VOX is the keyboard.

VOX is a wearable microphone, now in beta, that hears you through your body, so you can dictate without broadcasting your words. Together they cover pointing and typing, hands-free.

VOX and the MouthPad side by side on a pale studio background. VOX hangs at the left on its cord: a small round device in a clear housing, its orange side control and pale capture button visible through the case. The MouthPad sits at the right: a clear custom-fit retainer with a gold touchpad at its centre and gold circuitry curving out to the side electronics.

Product overview

The MouthPad is a custom-fit touchpad: hands-free control of your devices through tongue, head, and breath gestures. It has a plug-and-play design that connects via a standard wireless pairing, and works in all major operating systems, regardless of version. The MouthPad is nearly invisible when worn, compatible with voice control, easy to carry, and easy to learn.

Move the cursor with your tongue or your head, whichever you prefer. Tongue presses are used for left-click and click-and-drag. Sip gestures are used for right-clicks. We've also integrated more sophisticated gestures such as scrolling and swiping, expanding the dimensions of control.

The MouthPad has been designed with comfort as a top priority. Still, comfort is subjective and can depend on factors such as the individual's mouth shape, size, and the specific use case. Our team members and early users have worn the MouthPad for extended periods, up to ten hours a day, and have found it to be comfortable.

Yes, you can speak while wearing the MouthPad. Its custom design minimizes the impact on speech, making it easy to talk or use voice recognition software while wearing the device.

However, please note that results can vary, and some people may need more time than others to adjust to speaking normally while using the device.

Clean your MouthPad by hand with soap and water before and after each use, removing any saliva and debris. Don't leave it submerged for long, and dry it before returning it to the charging case, so bacteria can't grow.

Water is fine. Don't eat or drink anything else while wearing your MouthPad, and note that hot liquids can affect its fit. Don't chew or bite the device: that can break it and void your warranty. Take it out before sleeping, to avoid accidental damage.

The MouthPad is designed and manufactured by Augmental Technologies Inc., also known as Augmental, located in San Francisco, California. Augmental is an MIT Media Lab spin-off dedicated to developing human augmentation technologies. Our goal is to provide everyone with more intuitive ways to interact with computing systems.

The MouthPad is best suited for people over the age of 18 who have sufficient tongue dexterity, good oral health, and no ongoing dental or orthodontic treatments. Users must also have the physical ability to open their mouth wide enough for their initial 3D mouth scan.

Please review our full Eligibility Criteria.

Eligibility Criteria

Specifications

The MouthPad is equipped with a wireless protocol that allows it to connect to various devices, including computers, smartphones, and tablets. In general, it should be able to connect to any device that supports a wireless, dongle-free mouse.

We support the companion app for the latest 3 major OS versions for macOS, Windows, and iOS.

The companion app is where you tweak and fine-tune your MouthPad settings: cursor mode, click strength, touch sensitivity, cursor and scroll speed, and more. Your settings are saved on the MouthPad itself, so you can then connect to any device that accepts a Bluetooth mouse.

The app also delivers firmware updates and gives you access to our latest features.

The MouthPad comes with a charging case and cable. The charging case (printed with PETG) weighs 112 g and is 38 × 75 × 95 mm in size. The cable that comes with the package is a USB-C to USB-A cable.
