ALT-Chat
ALT-Chat™ brings all the exciting features of the ChatPC to a brilliant 7" dynamic display.
ALT-Chat combines the power of the ChatPC software with Prentke Romich Company’s popular Springboard Lite hardware. Although still very portable at 2.5 lbs., ALT-Chat offers text-to-speech synthesis, switch access ports, excellent audio quality and other features you expect on a full featured, dedicated communication device. This compact communication device measures just 7.3" x 7.3" x 1.8" and is available in three colors.
ALT-Chat™ offers all of the communication features of the PDA based ChatPC products. For individuals using symbols to communicate, this includes the ability to use photos or choose from the 10,000+ symbols that are included with the ALT-Chat™. It allows maximum flexibility for customizing the appearance and size of the buttons and the number of buttons on a page. A number of pre-stored vocabulary page sets are included to meet the communication needs of a wide variety of individuals. Communicators who spell will appreciate features such as word and letter prediction, abbreviation/expansion and grammar buttons.
ALT-Chat™ provides both digitized (recorded) and synthesized (computer generated) speech. A choice between two voice synthesizers allows the speech output to meet the needs and lifestyle of the individual. NeoSpeech offers high quality voice synthesis in American English. Acapela offers bilingual speech capabilities and a child's voice.
