The E-Talk Tablet device by Sym Systems Corporation is a portable speech device
for anyone who has lost the ability to speak. The E-Talk is a Tablet PC based
on Windows XP - so in addition to being a speech generating device, it also
supports a large number of applications designed for the PC. The E-Talk Tablet
uses the E-Talk 3 Software System, providing word prediction, multiple languages,
and the ability to completely customize the display.
The E-Talk is controlled by tapping on the front panel or it can use a variety
of switch access methods. The E-Talk features a dynamic display software that
allows the custom communication system to be easily created for nearly any user.
The selection can be made from pictures mixed with text, completely picture
based, or completely text based formats. It comes with changeable keypad overlays,
including the entire alphabet and common words and phrases. The box "speaks"
the word, letter or phrase by simply pressing a key. A user who still has vocal
capabilities can record all the selections in their own voice. Yet, for those
who have lost their own voice still there are no language barriers. Because
one can digitally record any voice (man's, woman's or child's), the E-Talk can
speak in any language.
