The best technology isn’t just built for one type of user—it’s built with foundations of inclusion and accessibility from the start.
Think about the tools we rely on every day. Electric toothbrushes were originally designed for people with mobility disabilities and limited dexterity, but now they’re widely used because they’re simply better at cleaning teeth than a traditional toothbrush. Curb cuts started as an accessibility feature for wheelchair users; today, they make life easier for parents with strollers or travelers with rolling luggage. Closed captions were developed for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, but they’ve become essential for watching videos in noisy environments, learning new languages, and improving content engagement.
The pattern is clear: when technology is built to be flexible from the start, it creates better experiences for everyone.
That’s the approach Cephable has taken since day one. What started as accessible technology quickly became something much bigger. Today, Cephable’s software is used by:
- Remote workers to reduce fatigue, cut down on typing, and streamline their workflows
- Enterprise teams to maximize throughput and reduce workflow times with intuitive control software
- Gamers and creatives to customize their controls in new ways, making their experiences more immersive and intuitive
And Cephable keeps evolving.
The Problem with One-Size-Fits-All Tech
Most digital tools are still designed around one way of working—a keyboard, a mouse, and endless clicking between apps. And it’s costing people time, energy, and focus.
- The average worker switches between 35 different job-critical apps more than 1,100 times per day, leading to lost productivity. (TechRepublic)
- Typing alone takes up a massive portion of the workday—an average of 3,500 words per person at speeds of 38–40 words per minute. (NY Post)
- Constant app-switching and inefficient workflows cost businesses up to 32 lost workdays per employee every year. (Forbes)
This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s inefficient.
By offering a better way to interact with your tech- adaptive, hands-free, voice-enabled- we are built to meet people where they are. Making tech controls faster, more intuitive, and customizable to how you work best.
Support That Extends Beyond the Technology
Our vision didn’t grow in isolation. From day one, we’ve had the backing of organizations and individuals who believe that technology should meet people where they are and adapt to how they want to live, learn, work, and play.
One of those early partners was Remarkable Tech, through their Accelerator program powered by Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA). In 2023, we joined the Remarkable Accelerator US program (run by Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation), connecting with a global network of innovators building accessibility-first technology. Their continued support—alongside CPA’s broader commitment to accessible innovation—has helped us grow thoughtfully and stay connected to the communities we’re building for. In 2025, CPA further invested in Cephable’s $4.8 million split Seed round through their Remarkable Scaler co-investment initiative.
But the support hasn’t stopped there. Through the Cephable Consortium, we’ve worked directly with a diverse community of users—including individuals with cerebral palsy—who help us shape what we build, why we build it, and how it’s used in the real world. From the features we prioritize to the feedback loops we create, our community is engaged at every stage.
We’re also proud to collaborate with community partners, educators, clinicians, and accessibility advocates who keep us grounded in what matters most: creating tools that genuinely improve how people engage with their technology—and, by extension, the world around them.
This kind of support is what turns an idea into a platform and a product into a movement. And we’re just getting started.
“It has been an incredible opportunity to be a part of helping such an innovative accessibility tool like Cephable continue to realize its potential. I firmly believe that this potential is boundless, especially because the team is so willing to include end users with disabilities every step of the way.
Computers are a gateway to anything from work to play, to connection with those closest to you, regardless of the geographical space that may separate you. Having a flexible way to interact with them really breaks down the barriers to all of these things for people with disabilities.
At the same time, the technology itself is applicable to so many types of interaction in daily life. To me, the future of Cephable represents independence and the freedom to choose how I interact with the world around me.”
What’s Next?
We’re building tools that support more flexible workflows, reduce fatigue, and give users greater control—whether they’re navigating a spreadsheet, editing a video, or playing their favorite game. And we’re doing it alongside the people who use our software every day: our consortium members, our partners, and our growing community of creators, employees, students, and players.
Because when tech is built to adapt to people—rather than people having to adapt to tech—everyone gets a better experience.
