A new dimension in digital recording communication aids

adVOCAte is a new dimension in digital recording aids and has been designed following extensive market research.

It has been designed to be truly portable and small enough for children to handle, and rugged enough to endure the use it will encounter.

Using up to 4 external switches for direct selection It can be configured from 1 to 16 locations, can be accessed by both direct selection (with either keypad or external switches) and by switch scanning.

It uses the latest speech recording technology and incorporates three unique features to digital recording communication aids: an optional Remote Text Display for use in noisy environments, and an optional Timer and Latch Module which enables a range of battery or AC-powered devices to be controlled via a wire-free infrared link (permitting users to learn cause-and-effect with external devices), and to participate in a range of classroom activities. Environmental Control is optional.

adVOCAte is a fully-featured digital recording communication aid, and one which is easy to set up and program.
