Type on your hybrid touchscreen laptop.
Keep that screen crystal clean and reduce smudges.
Wear a hygienic barrier and lose that cleaner cloth.

No more Zing from tapping on Gorilla Glass.
Bigger fingers or Long nails?
TAPTOOL is the accurate solution.
Character Based Language Input
"TAPTOOL particularly helps those people entering characters like Chinese, using the touch screen hand-writing input method. The IPAD actually captures what I intended to enter more precisely than using my bare finger".
Charles Yang, Software Architect/Engineer/ TAPTOOL Tester.

Tremors
Several TAPTOOL Testers with resting tremors reported decreased frustration while using their IPAD. Clinically , we cannot pinpoint the reason for this effect. However we can speculate several reasons why TAPTOOL may be helpful for people with tremors.

- TAPTOOL provides a visual focal point at the end of the finger to concentrate on while tapping and swiping.
- TAPTOOL hugs the finger providing some sensory input which may allow better control.
- TAPTOOL may provide acoustic feedback while tapping on the touchscreen.
- TAPTOOL may glide more easily across the screen while swiping.
- TAPTOOL reduces tap area to 3-4 mm for people with larger fingers increasing their accuracy.
Designed for Support
From an orthopedic standpoint, this drawing shows the ideal position of the TAPTOOL on the finger. We have taken the most up to date anthropomorphic data to develop the 4 sizes.
There will be some variety in fit due individual finger length, however, the vibration absorption material will still be felt by the user. TAPTOOL's excellent glide quality on glass will also decrease the stress on the joint and its ligaments.

Easy sizing for all adult fingers
TAPTOOL FAQS
- TAPTOOL has a black color because of the conductive additive in the plastic (we are looking into feasibility of painting the top portions of the TAPTOOL).
- TAPTOOL is made of a food safe inert plastic that is washable.
- TAPTOOL is highly conductive and should be kept away from outlets and electrical current sources.
- TAPTOOL can be worn over conductive gloves if there is good electrical contact at the fingertip area.
- TAPTOOL should be kept away from small children under 3 due to choking hazard.
TAPTOOL PROJECT UPDATE
Just because a 3d printed model worked as a prototype didn't mean an injection mold could be made. So we took the extra step of investing in a single cavity of a four cavity mold to prove our complex design.
We partnered with a longtime plastics inventor and mold designer Milton R.. We can't say enough how important mentorship is when approaching a design project like TAPTOOL. Milton was instrumental in the success of our mold design. He also had the patience and wisdom to help us source the perfect engineered plastic for the TAPTOOL.
Now we have a commercial grade TAPTOOL in one size and it surpassed our expectations for performance.
With the help of the Kickstarter/ Indiegogo community we can provide 4 adult sizes and begin commercial production shortly.
We are proud that our product is made in the USA. The mold tooling and TAPTOOL production is with our injection molding partner located in the Philadelphia Area.
