Polyana 4 with Persona |
Polyana is the hardware. Its light weight and small size make carrying easy by its
folding carry-handle / stability stand. The audio amplifier / speaker base-pack provides exceptionally
loud, clear output. A sliding volume control in front is used to set the sound output level.
|
Persona is the text-based communication program purposely designed for literate users who need to talk. Access to the program is by the keyboard, the touch screen, and by switches using the on-screen keyboard. Messages are clearly spoken by DECtalk speech synthesis. |
Formulate messages letter-by-letter, by selecting words through word completion and word prediction, and phrases via abbreviation / expansion and a phrase list. |
The Standard version allows access to a host of Pocket PC programs like Microsoft WordPad, SpreadCE, Pocket On-Schedule, Media Player, Calculator, and various Microsoft viewers for Word, Excel, PDF, Image, and PowerPoint. A built-in modem is optional. |
The Medical Assistance (MA) version is a dedicated Speech Generating Device that meets the requirements of various medical assistance agencies so access to the Windows programs is denied. |
You may request a Persona
demonstration CD to try the software on a Windows PC. |
