If she has Verizon cell service, they have a Windows 10 app that will allow her to text and import her contacts.  Not sure if any other services offer this type of app but I've used Verizon successfully with a few of my pALS who have iPhones.

Best,

Hello ATers,

 

I have a client with ALS successfully using an IBM Thinkpad with Windows 10 and the Tobii 4C eye gaze access.  She loves the ease of the system and uses it for communication, web surfing etc but the one thing she wants to be able to do is text her husband and family – except her cell phone is an iPhone.

 

Other than changing over to Android or using WhatsApp, anyone know of any other interfaces to do this function? She’s hesitant to learn another phone operating system (and I can’t blame her) and would like to somehow integrate these two pieces of technology.

 

As always, I grateful for any help.

 

Regards,

Alisa
