Symbol Communication
The Grid 2 is a powerful symbol communicator, used by people of all ages and
abilities who are unable to speak, or whose speech is unclear.
At a basic level, users can select a message to be spoken instantly. You can also
select a sequence of symbols to create a sentence. More advanced users can
combine symbols with alphabet grids, and use tools such as prediction with
symbols. Symbol sentences can be saved, printed, sent as email or sms messages, or simply spoken aloud.
You can quickly and simply add new vocabulary and pages. Use the Widget Literacy Symbols (included), SymbolStix by
News-2-You, Mayer-Johnson PCS, or any other symbol collection. You can also use photos and other images.
Text Communication
The Grid 2 provides many ways to speed up text input for people unable to use a
physical keyboard. Prediction and other tools are available for users who need
support with language or spelling:
• Intelligent prediction learns as you write.
• You can use “sounds like” or "spelled like" word matching.
• Create abbreviations for typing useful phrases in just a few selections.
Text communication grids are included with The Grid 2, and can be adapted to suit individual needs.
Text Chat + Messages gives users the option to save sentences. Quick searching allows you to find and edit saved
messages. Power users can maintain multiple message lists for different topics. Verb Morphology allows you to change a
verb to a different tense just by selecting a cell.
Computer Control
Our computer control grids are designed to make all the features of Windows
immediately accessible to people who do not use a standard keyboard and mouse
- even to people using a single switch.
In addition to replacing the keyboard and mouse with an on-screen display, The
Grid 2 allows you to open and manage programs, move and resize windows,
browse web sites and much more.
The Grid 2's computer control grids are set up for common applications like Word,
Internet Explorer, and Outlook. Grids for controlling other software can be created
and shared online. Accessing other programs is very fast with The Grid 2. This
high speed is due to the efficient way you control your computer. Each cell on the
screen can be programmed to perform any number of functions activated simply by selecting one cell.
Demo CDs
Demonstration CDs for Sensory Software programs and Acapela speech synthesis are available on request.
All Sensory programs are fully functioning for a period of 30 days, after which they must be licensed to
continue.
