Socially oriented IT technology for people who lost their ability to speak
Kharkiv, Ukraine -- November18, 2005 -- QArea, the leading
developer and tester of applications for PDA's and smartphones
also being the originator of the pioneering BugHuntress Test
Suite - automated testing system for PDA applications, is proud
to contribute to socially oriented technologies for those who
have lost their ability to speak, along with Sym Systems
Corporation, USA, and marketing assistance of Ukrainian Hi-Tech
Initiative (www.hi-tech.org.ua).
QArea, an offshore software development company has
successfully finished the first two software development
projects for non-verbal persons. The software development
program was outsourced by Sym Systems Corporation, an American
company producing augmentative speech devices assisting those
who require alternative forms of communication. QArea's
marketing support was provided by Ukrainian Hi-Tech Initiative,
a leading Ukrainian alliance in Offshore Software Development
and the IT industry (www.hi-tech.org.ua).
The E-Talk Tablet device by Sym Systems Corporation is a
portable speech device for anyone who has lost the ability to
speak. The E-Talk is a Tablet PC based on Windows XP - so in
addition to being a speech generating device, it also supports a
large number of applications designed for the PC. The E-Talk
Tablet uses the E-Talk 3 Software System, providing word
prediction, multiple languages, and the ability to completely
customize the display.
The E-Talk is controlled by tapping on the front panel or it
can use a variety of switch access methods. The E-Talk features
a dynamic display software that allows the custom communication
system to be easily created for nearly any user. The selection
can be made from pictures mixed with text, completely picture
based, or completely text based formats. It comes with
changeable keypad overlays, including the entire alphabet and
common words and phrases. The box "speaks" the word, letter or
phrase by simply pressing a key. A user who still has vocal
capabilities can record all the selections in their own voice.
Yet, for those who have lost their own voice still there are no
language barriers. Because one can digitally record any voice
(man's, woman's or child's), the E-Talk can speak in any
language.
