 Talara
The Talara-32 is a simple communication aid that records human voice and other sounds for playback. Simply record messages and play them back. Need to re-record?—just do it—the Talara-32 adjusts its memory automatically. It is an electronic communication device with levels, direct and switch/scanning access and flexible size key patterns making it easily customizable for both children and adults with wide ranging abilities and needs. It is similar in many respects to the popular ZYGO Macaw, however the Talara is simpler and some of the more sophisticated functions of the Macaw are not available in the Talara — to make a more straightforward device where you don't need to pay for features you won't be using.
The Talara has 2 modes: PLAY — this mode is for the user. The messages are selected and spoken when the user selects a key either by pressing it directly, or by using a switch with scanning. The messages are usually represented with a paper overlay, which may display pictures, photos, graphics or words. RECORD — this mode is for the support people who will be setting up the device for the user. In this mode the support person can set the size of the keys and record the messages. Some characteristics are changed using controls on the side of the unit (i.e., scan speed and scanning mode).
The main features of the Talara-32 are:
— The number and size of keys can be readily changed to suit people with varying visual, physical and cognitive abilities. All the key patterns shown below are able to be set, providing the opportunity to change key patterns according to development or changes of the user. All levels must have the same key-pattern.
— The 45 minutes of available recording time can be used flexibly. There is no restriction of recording time per key, as there often is with other devices in this category.
— The hinged overlay retainer makes overlay exchange easy.
— Its simplicity and light weight.
