The Zingui is the small sized, lightweight speech generating device from Jabbla of Belgium. The elegant yet ergonomic European styling and versatility of this device will suit both children and adults.
Customize vocabularies with the easy to use Mind Express software to meet your communication needs. Start by using symbols or photos for cause and effect, display simple choice, or to represent whole stored messages. Use the symbols or text to build phrases and sentences. Progress to using text-to-speech with word prediction and verb morphology to produce voice output. Set up phrase banks and link pages together to accelerate sentence building. Sample pages are supplied so you can start immediately. Access using the touch screen for direct selection, use one- or two-switch scanning, or connect a USB input device.
The Zingui Plus uses both digitized and synthesized speech using Realspeak (Nuance) or BrightSpeech (Acapela). Speech output is loud, clear, and natural whether you use Realspeak, or record digitized messages in any language. The Zingui Plus adds a built-in grammar module and word prediction to augment its text-to-speech capabilities.
Install the optional environmental control module (GEWA) and the user can communicate and operate TV, DVD, cable box, and other household electronics. With an 8.4” touch screen it’s a very portable 2lbs 6 oz (1.08 kg).
Zingui is available in a variety of unique colors and styles. The Mind Express software includes SymbolStix from News-2-You, but can be used with other symbol sets as well as digital photographs, whatever you prefer. Choose American English or American Spanish with Spanish menus and Spanish speech.
