ChatBox
Deluxe
by Saltillo Corporation
ChatBox-DX
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 addition of a deluxe model, ChatBox-DX, opens up a world of
capabilities to individuals with visual difficulty or very poor motor
skills.
Both models can be programmed for the appropriate vocabulary, voice and
native tongue of their user. They 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-DX 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. The
overlays on ChatBox-DX can be set to have four oversized keys for easier
use by individuals with visual difficulty or poor motor skills.
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.
Remote Access
The Chatbox-DX includes four additional switch jacks for use by people
with poor motor skills.
Auditory Scanning
The Chatbox-DX includes the capability of using auditory prompts so that
the names of keys can be spoken during scanning.
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
Weighs only 1.5 lbs. and measures 5.75: x 7.5".
ChatBox - Deluxe (CB-DX)
The deluxe model offers all the benefits of ChatBox plus additional
features for individuals with visual difficulty or very poor motor
skills. Special features include auditory scanning capability, overlays
to accommodate oversized keys, and additional switch jacks.
