The extra function of this device is that you can store up to 260 phrases (stored under a letter and number).  Rather than having to programme these in you can create on your computer and blue tooth across.

The guy (from Wales) who developed the device came to see me and showed me how easy this is.

 

I know I will still be using the E-tran in our hospital as even though the price isn’t bad the hospital still wont buy any!! It’s still good knowing its on the market .

I like the basic idea of the Megabee, but it seems like if you were using a

low tech etran board, held up by a locline mount, then you would have your

hands free to write...
