We are working to make sure the Tecla Shield is compatible with as many devices as possible.
Our long-term goal is to help ensure that the Tecla Shield becomes a universal interface for people with mobility impairments that not only enables access to personal electronic devices, but also to public terminals such as automated teller machines (ATMs) and ticketing kiosks.
A simple and open application programming interface (API) is available for device manufacturers and software developers wishing to implement compatibility with the Tecla Shield. Details on this API are available on the project’s wiki page.

Compatibility
Currently, the Tecla Shield is compatible with Bluetooth devices supporting the Serial Port Profile (SPP/RFCOMM), including:
- All major desktop operating systems (Windows, Mac and Linux)
- Symbian smartphones and feature-phones
- Blackberry smartphones and tablets
- Android smartphones and tablets
