 MACAW™ 5Far from a simple "introductory" system, the MACAW is a full-function unit which supports operation from as few as 2 Enlarged Keys to Multi-Levels (using any key pattern in each level) and Key-Linked messages. Over 78 minutes of high-quality is standard. Of course, there is no limit to the percentage which may be recorded for each message. The MACAW is a communication device used by people who do not have functional speech. Pictures or words are used to make an overlay (or a display) which represent the messages stored in each key. A person with speech records the desired messages onto the MACAW. The person using the MACAW selects the message and the MACAW speaks it.
The MACAW is used by people who do not have the ability to spell the messages they wish to communicate. Its design makes it suitable for people who may use just one or many levels, who benefit from concrete visual representation of the messages, or who have changing abilities and needs. The many set-ups of the MACAW can accommodate physical changes affecting accessing, need for different displays over time and so on. It utilizes both direct selection and scanning (including auditory scanning) and a novel, simple "Morse code" access to all keys and functions. Its ruggedness, light weight and small size make the MACAW easy to carry by its unique folding handle or neckstrap, and its wedge shape provides a comfortable slope for access to the keyboard from a flat surface. |
