Product Description: 

BlueTalk is a wireless personal communication device. It provides a two-line, forward facing LCD display used to output text and speakers that are optimized for playing synthesized speech. BlueTalk communicates with tablets and computers using the Bluetooth wireless standard and supports Bluetooth’s auto-reconnect feature.

Main Features: 

  • Adaptive speaker volume control based on ambient noise.
  • A headphone jack to enable personal conversations with synthesized speech.
  • A relay output jack for signaling or controlling other devices such as battery-operated toys or nurse call switches.
  • Rechargeable battery with 10 hours of use time.
  • BlueTalk comes with a charger.
  • The front-facing display (towards the communication partner) provides persistent text of the synthesized speech output.
  • If a partner does not immediately understand the synthesizer, he or she can quickly review the matching text on the display.
  • It is also possible to just write a message and not speak it. 
  •  In addition, BlueTalk makes it possible for the MultiAccess app to write into -- and move the cursor on -- up to two smart devices. 
  • BlueTalk maintains its connection with all devices, so switching among devices when typing is instantaneous.
  • BlueTalk’s LCD and speakers are controlled through the MultiAccess app.
  • MultiAccess provides access to switch setup parameters within BlueTalk. 
  • The input Android tablet running the MultiAccess app sends commands to BlueTalk, which "translates" the keyboard and cursor control commands into Bluetooth HID protocol and then forwards them to one of two (maximum) connected devices (smartphones, computers, etc.). 

Primary Specifications: 

  • The BlueTalk text display is two lines by 40 characters long. 
  • The size of BlueTalk is 8.5" x 3" x 1.25" thick.
  • Bluetalk weighs 12 ounces.
  • The relay output will switch up to 120 V at 100 ma.
  • BlueTalk has two 3.5mm diameter mono switch ports, allowing you to control MultiAccess when the app is in scanning mode.
  • MultiAccess should work on any Android device running version 4.1 (Jelly bean) or later, but it has only been tested on Samsung and Nexus devices. 
  • As long as a device supports connecting to a standard Bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse, BlueTalk can be used to access the device (i.e., all operating systems are supported).
  • No special software is required on the two connected devices.

Options & Accessories: 

Accessories are available for purchase for this product(s). These include, but are not limited to:
