TD Talk

Name: TD Talk
Brand: Tobii Dynavox CA
Availability: InStock

TD Talk is a speech generating app for literate adults with communication disabilities such as ALS/MND, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy. It empowers people to talk using just their eyes or fingers. Express yourself naturally with a large selection of voices, and the ability to switch smoothly between a wide choice of languages and different conversation topics. Engage more actively in conversations with fast word and phrase prediction, and easy in-sentence editing. Communicate face-to-face by making your screen transparent with See Through Mode and your typed text visible in the rear-facing Partner Window. It’s also possible to use a custom, synthetic clone of your natural voice, with a choice from among several leading voice banking providers.

TD Talk is pre-loaded on TD I-Series, TD Pilot and SC Tablet, or available cost-free to try on your own iPad with touch access only (no eye tracking) and a smaller selection of languages and voices. This can help people with progressive degenerative conditions who want to try the app before the need for a dedicated speech generating device.

Converse naturally

Participate naturally in dialogue by displaying your typed text to your conversation partner in the rear-facing Partner Window. Select your language of choice and switch to it seamlessly.

Express yourself quickly

Remain an active part of any conversation with the ability to use predicted text and edit errors within a sentence. Maintain a more natural speaking pace with Quick Messages, pre-programmed common and custom phrases such as ‘I need help’ and ‘wait please, I’m typing’.

Sound like yourself

Express yourself more fluidly thanks to phrase prediction, which learns and adapts to your personal communication style. Choose from a selection of pre-recorded synthetic voices to find one you most identify with or create a custom one with voice banking.

Bank your voice

Preserve the way you sound with voice banking, a tool for creating a personal synthetic voice that mimics your natural one. Simply create or use an existing custom voice from either Acapela (try my-own-voice for three months free), Model Talker or The Voice Keeper, then import it to TD Talk.
