ChatPC-4

Introducing the Brand New ChatPC!

The original ChatPC was introduced in 2000 and soon became the most widely used PDA-based communication device available. Saltillo is happy to introduce the ChatPC-4, the latest model in this versatile line of products. One of the many highlights of the ChatPC-4 is PalmChat (see section below for information).

The ChatPC, always known as a durable device, has become even more rugged in this latest model. The PDA integrated into the ChatPC-4 is a ruggedized, industrial computer, covered by a rubberized housing that offers additional protection to bumps, drops and accidents. The clear screen cover can serve as a stand when the ChatPC-4 is being used, and as a screen protector when being transported.

Another significant enhancement in ChatPC-4 is the integration of Loquendo speech synthesis. Loquendo has set the standard in the European Telecom community and is now available for the ChatPC. Simply by choosing different voices from a menu, the ChatPC-4 can speak English, French or Spanish, DecTalk is also still available as an option for those who prefer the classic voice of ChatPC.

PalmChat

Saltillo Corporation announces PalmChat with 30-Locations, a word-based vocabulary for the ChatPC line of products. PalmChat was developed by Nancy L. Inman, M.A.T., CCC-SLP and Janet S. Lehr, M.S., CCC-SLP, both who are widely known for the their work in developing, implementing and teaching word-based vocabulary programs.

PalmChat uses high-frequency core words to facilitate quick and easy sentence generation. It also includes nouns and adjectives that are organized in logical categories. All grammatical word classes have been included. As you build a sentence, you often find that the next word you want to say can be spoken with one or two button presses. A ‘grammar’ key is used to provide morphological endings to verbs, nouns and adjectives. A spelling/word prediction page is used to spell words that are not included in the vocabulary set.
