SuperTalker FT

A versatile, static-display speech generating device, with 8 levels, and key patterns of 1, 2, 4, or 8 keys.  The SuperTalker FT permits progression from a single message through to 2, 4, or 8 messages per overlay. All keyguards are supplied with the device, so simply change the set-up and the keyguard to move on.  

How it works:

Plan the messages required for each level.  Usually messages would be devised according to the activity or situation in which the SuperTalker will be used, for example playing a game of "Simon Says", making comments during play-time, messages needed to obtain assistance during colouring or playing with dolls or cars, or meal-times etc.
Make overlays to represent the messages. 
A speaking assistant records the messages using the in-built microphone in the SuperTalker.  Experiment with different distances from the microphone to achieve the best output quality.
Change levels, record another level.
8 levels are available.
Recording time is 16 minutes in total, and messages can vary in length.
Place the overlay under the keyguard, and exit RECORD mode.
The SuperTalker is ready for action!

This example could be used with a teenager during 'make-up' or 'grooming'.

Other features:

Storage compartment for keyguards and overlays.
