Now there's a Speech Generating Device that brings us into the modern age — cell phone communication for voice and e-mail — BUILT-IN. It's what you've asked for. |
The TalkingAid Wireless is a full-functioning text-to-speech communication aid with a large,
multi-line display and function-keys for rapid access to three phrases per key, word completion options and simplified
setups. The unit has a rugged, moisture resistant case, a field replaceable battery, a built-in removable keyguard, and
features the very effective DECtalk speech synthesizer with 7 voices. It has voice recording as well, and many other
unique features. But most impressive is its built-in cell phone capability for voice calls and text based e-mail in
addition to the ability to communicate face-to-face. |
