Item Details
Allora Speech Generating Device
ILC Reference NO 61:04:017
Item sourced from ILC QLD database
Features
INPUT: Text is typed using the keyboard, and this appears in the 40 character display. The text is spoken when the Enter key is pressed, or after each word if `wordecho` is activated.
OUTPUT: Natural-sounding Australian RealSpeak Voices. In addition to synthesised speech, the Allora can store and play digitised sounds as Pre-Programmed Messages (see below). These digitised sounds can be used to attract attention, animate a conversation, for playback of a human voice or as a WAV or MP3 player. Someone with a progressive motor neurone disease might record their voice while they can still verbalise and then have the Allora use these recordings to "speak" with their voice when they can no longer verbalise.
RATE ENHANCEMENT: Word prediction, pre-programmed messages and abbreviation expansion.
KEYBOARD: The keyboard is waterproof and has raised normal sized keys with white key labels on a black background. The tactile keys are easy to push. A keyguard is available. This is secured to the top of the unit using four screws. QWERTY layout.
SCANNING: The Allora has built-in scanning. The row-column alphabet also takes advantage of word prediction.
EXTRA FEATURES: Display and clock
LCD SCREEN: The LCD display consists of 2 lines with 40 characters each. The first line is used to write the message. The second line displays the word prediction list. The Scanning keyboard appears on the right hand side of the display.
ECU: The Allora can be supplied with a built-in GEWA environmental control unit. This allows the user to operate television, DVD and other appliances using the Allora.
USB CONNECTION: The Allora can be connected to a PC using the supplied cable and Allora Tools software. This can be used to upgrade to new firmware versions, to program and link messages, sounds or music with key sequences, to define abbreviations or manipulate wav or mp3 files in the Allora memory.
The standard Allora is supplied with:
AC Charger
User Manual
Allora Tools software CD for Windows and USB cable
Carry bag
