MACAW 5

MACAW 5 Standard - A full function digital recording communication system

Far from a simple "introductory" communication device, the MACAW 5 is a full-function unit which supports from as few as 2 enlarged keys to 32 keys with multi-levels (using any key pattern in each level) and Key-Linked messages. Over 78 minutes of high-quality recording time is standard. Of course, there is no limit to the percentage which may be recorded for each message.

Benefits

The MACAW 5 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 5 selects the message by pressing a key and the MACAW 5 speaks it.

The MACAW 5 is also used by people who do not have the ability to spell the messages they wish to communicate. Any number of keys may be combined for Key-Linked messages which is useful for spelling and sentence creation. 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 keyboard set-ups of the MACAW 5 can accommodate physical changes affecting accessing, need for different displays over time and so on. As the user`s needs change and abilities grow, the MACAW 5 can grow with him/her, up to 32 keys on 32 levels.
