Optimist 3HD Dynamic Display Device

Dialect 3HD Speech Generating Device (dedicated)

Make sure you also look at our latest dynamic display device, the Optimist-MMX(v2) the newest augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) aid from ZYGO. It is an enhanced, versatile PC that can convert from a notebook to a tablet AAC device. It's durable, drop and spill resistant, and can withstand the demands of every day use.   --> The new ZYGO Optimist—MMX—2 is right here...

The Optimist 3HD is a powerful augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) aid that is ideal for direct selection on its bright, all-light readable 8.4 inch touch screen or for scanning on its dynamic display. At just three pounds, the unit's light weight makes carrying easy by its convertible handle/deskstand. The audio amplifier/speaker module provides exceptionally loud, clear output. At its processing speed, message selection is really fast. All units have a 20 GB hard drive, built-in Bluetooth connectivitiy, and extended life batteries.

Two USB ports are provided for connections to computer peripherals and switch jacks for access by scanning. AAC software is pre-installed and fasteners for wheelchair mounting are built-in.

The Optimist 3HD comes pre-loaded with your choice of AAC packages. You need to specify which communication program you want us to install. Choose from Speaking Dynamically Pro and Boardmaker from Mayer Johnson, The Grid2 from Sensory Software, Tobii Communicator from Tobii ATI, or install all three for a versatile evaluation tool. The hardware is also available without software so you can install whatever programs you like.

Add an external battery for extra hours of portable power. Supplied with a USB keyboard and mouse.

You can also turn the Optimist into an environmental control system by adding a GEWA Control Micro USB infrared transmitter which can be run directly from The Grid 2 or Tobii Communicator software.

And the entire device is only three pounds!

The Dialect 3HD is identical to the Optimist 3HD in every respect except that it will only run the AAC software you choose. The Optimist is an integrated communication system, while the Dialect meets the Medicare criteria as a dedicated speech generating device.

The Optimist and Dialect 3HD comes complete with AAC software of your choosing. Recommend the software program that best meets the needs of your client.
