Full Product Description
The Grid 2 now has a built-in web browser, word processor, email, SMS text messaging, a calculator, music player and a clock. It has top quality Acapela speech and the complete Widgit Rebus symbol library.
There is a wealth of tools for the symbol user, including smart picture searching, prediction with symbols, verb morphology and ‘sound alike’ words. Some major grid sets, such as Ingfield, CALLtalk and WordPower, have been revised to utilise The Grid 2’s extra power. In addition to Rebus symbols you can use PCS, photos and most other symbol libraries.
For text users, The Grid 2 allows seamless integration between voice communication and other computer tasks. Fast prediction and message stores help to speed up input. The powerful on screen keyboard gives direct control over standard Windows software. It allows menus, dialogue boxes, web sites and much more to be navigated under the direct control of the user.
The program also provides a way to handle most everyday tasks, for users who do not require a full office suite.
You can use pointing devices, a touch monitor, eye gaze systems and switches.
