Hi there Greetings from I spotted your query and I wondered
whether the patient was talking about the Neo by Alphasmart , see:
http://store.alphasmart.co.uk/neo2-uk/ We have a few patients that use these
but
they actually have no voice output, and are preferred by those who do not
want
voice output. Not sure if that helps but it could be
what they meant, Kind

[mailto:xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alisa Brownlee Question from the group from a
Chapter
staff person. Anyone have any input on Neospeak?
Thanks I am working with a pALS who is resisting
using
an AAC device because the voices on the equipment he has seen other pALS
use
sounds too computer-generated. His wife is asking for
information
about Neospeak which she describes as “a more natural
voice”.
I am not able to find anything about Neospeak on the internet. Do you
know anything about this product? Or can you recommend a device that
comes with a “a more natural voice”. This pALS speech
impairment has advanced beyond being able to do voice
banking.
Please feel
free
to put this message out on the AT listserve for additional input from the
group. Thanks Alisa Brownlee,
