Powerful tools for symbol-reliant
augmented communicators and their
care teams.
We have added NEW VOICES for much more natural and expressive speech!
The iChat3 now uses Acapela speech technologies licensed from the Acapela Group
in addition to the DECtalk® speech technologies from FONIX! Improved speaker
provides stronger and clearer voices than ever before!
Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices assist people with severe communication disabilities
to participate more fully in their social roles including interpersonal interaction, learning, education, community
activities, employment, volunteerism, and care management.
iChat’s communication software is the result of years of clinical research. Providing individuals with cognitive
disabilities powerful, symbol-based communication resources, iChat allows for quick and easy self-expression.
Why is this device for me?
If you are a person with a communication disability and fairly good motor control, this product may be for you.
It is a small lightweight device with an incredibly crisp and bright display. The device can be transported and
used anywhere – in a car, on an airplane, at a store, and at the dining table.
Fast and Easy Communication
Compose and deliver messages quickly with straightforward PCS® symbols representing words, phrases and
complete sentences. Built-in hardware buttons can be programmed to meet an individual’s unique needs or to
provide shortcuts for common functions.
Ready to Run
Multiple pre-programmed page sets designed by speech-language pathologists with decades of AAC experience
allow the user to communicate immediately. These ready-to-go page sets also reduce the need to create
custom pages - which can also be quickly created for any occasion. This new device also includes 7 new page
templates with buttons of different sizes on the same page.
