Text-to-Speech

Lernout & Hauspie languages, or high quality digital recordings. The volume is loud.
The text-to-speech is outstanding. The recorded sound quality is awesome! This
speech device is meant to be heard!
Digitally Recorded Speech
No language barriers. Because you can digitally record anyone’s voice (man, woman
or child), the e-talk can speak in any language.
Display
The e-talk features a black and white dynamic, transflective display, which can be
viewed in the brightest sunlight. For indoor, or nighttime viewing, the display is

Input is by touch screen or scanning using either pictures or letters or both. The e-talk touch screen is programmed to
accept finger touch. The user does not have to use his fingernail or a tool to get an input. There are jacks for one or two
switches and the e-talk can be fully switch operated.
Variable Length Messages
Each key can record a message of any length. Recording time is limited only by available memory on the e-talk. There are
no recording limits on any key. The e-talk can be purchased with 16, 32, 48, 72, 96, and 128 minutes of digital recording
time.
Flexibility and Ease of Use
The e-talk is shipped ready to use, with a communication system designed to introduce the feeling of the e-talk. It includes
some picture symbol communication pages, some letter based communication pages and access to the more than 3600
Mayer-Johnson picture symbols. Pages can be created in four key layouts: 2x2, 2x6, 4x6, and 4x8. Key layouts can vary on
a page-by-page basis.
Backup and Upgrading
The e-talk’s message library is easily saved to your PC, and software upgrades can be downloaded from the internet to your
PC and transferred to the e-talk.
Powerful enough to fit all cognitive needs from
the most basic to the most sophisticated, the e-talk
features dynamic screen software that allows a
custom communication system to be easily created
for nearly any user. Featuring the popular Mayer-
Johnson picture symbol system, the dynamic
screen software facilitates the creation of com-
munication screens that flow from one to another
allowing smooth creation of verbal communica-
tion. Pictures can be mixed with text and systems
can be created ranging from completely picture based to
completely text based or any combination in between.
The e-talk takes augmentative communication to another level. With the e-talk you
really can have it all. Want a dynamic screen picture-based device? You’ve got it.
Want an on-screen keyboard with text-to-speech communication? You’ve got that
too. How about mixing digitized and synthesized speech on the same page? You
can do that also. Want functional design; touch screen input, and glorious transpar-
ent colors? It’s all yours with the e-talk.
