What are the pros and cons of using the Eye Gaze Edge for a PALS.  I have a patient interested in the device.  I am not familiar with it.  I generally recommend the Tobii eye tracking devices or the FRS WinSlates for a PALS who needs eye gaze.  Thank you in advance for your input.

I have 123 Speak communications software available online. You can get to it from the web site www.ALSaccess.com. Also I added a couple of  videos on the web site to explain how it works.

I plan on making in available free of charge to people with ALS and those who help support them. So feel free to share the link or give copies out to anyone.

 

The software runs on any Windows OS (7, 8 or 10) device. It even runs on the Dynavox Eye Tracker.

 

Over the next few week I will release a new version  that will make editing easier and to solve a couple of minor bugs

 

Early in 2016 as a part of a promotional program I hope to distribute 40 tablet computer to a group ALS patients, speech therapists, and social works like the ALS Association. I will tell you more as I progress.

 

In the mean time please let me know what you think and any suggestions.
