ChatBox
by Saltillo Corporation
ChatBox voice output communication device combines the use of meaningful
pictorial images with the latest technology to enable people who cannot
speak to communicate easily and quickly with their families, friends and
others. The newly enhanced ChatBox is designed for use by any individual who
experiences cognitive and language limitations, brain disorders, cerebral
palsy or conditions that result in temporary loss of speech.
The ChatBox can be programmed for the appropriate vocabulary, voice and
native tongue of their user. It can be utilized effectively by individuals
of any age as a primary aid to daily communication or as a "first"
communication aid from which one transitions to a more flexible system.
ChatBox is an affordable, entry-level device which introduces a non-speaking
individual to electronic voice aids. It is the only low-cost communication
device that uses Minspeak, a language system based on combining
multi-meaning icons to generate naturally spoken output via words, phrases
or sentences. By organizing vocabulary around activities and situations, the
beginning aided communicator is provided with sufficient vocabulary for use
at home, school, work or play.
Multiple Overlays
ChatBox can contain up to four, customizable vocabulary overlays.
Easy Use of Icons
A small light, (LED), in the upper corner of each key makes it easy to
locate stored messages and to use the correct icon sequence.
Most Effective Language
Minspeak is by far the most successful technique for communicating with
augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices. ChatBox is the
only low-cost communication aid using Minspeak.
Single-Switch Scanning
Individuals who cannot press the keys on ChatBox can use a variety of
switches to activate messages. Row/column scanning and linear scanning are
both available.
Safeguards
If a key isn't illuminated, it can't be activated. This makes it easier for
people with poor motor skills or limited cognitive or language skills to
relay the correct message without accidentally hitting the wrong key.
High-Quality Speech
ChatBox can be programmed with up to 10 minutes of speech. A built-in
microphone enables easy recording of messages by a family member, teacher,
instructional aid, volunteer or other chosen voice representative.
Light and Portable
Weigh only 1.5 lbs. and measure 5.75: x 7.5".
ChatBox (CB-1)
The newest model includes more than three times the memory of earlier
models, plus additional battery life, higher quality speech and row/column
scanning as an additional input technique.
