Hi I was diagnosed one year ago with ALS. I have no voice at all and both hands are growing weak now. I received a Tobii computer which has a windows 7 platform and the beauty of being able to eye track. I want to love it and use it. It has great sound and great voice productions.
But it is so heavy, due to the removable batteries, etc. It has a touch screen too!
1. i find the touch screen difficult. It doesn't register the touches sometimes. and sometimes just seems to jumps around, I resort to using my old macbook to type on, because it has a very sensitive keyboard. I am not using the eye gaze yet and it al seems so depressing to take on.
Any suggestions.
2. They gave me a wheel chair mount that doesn't seem to allow you to exit your wheel chair and go potty by yourself. i have spoken to them about a swing away version that is more user friendly. I want to take my Tobii out with me into town etc. and suggestions
I use a Samsung S4 with its memo app for showing people what I am saying - in public and the typing is quite user friendly but no voice app. The one on the phone is for sight impaired and so spells out each letter typed.
Any suggestions here?
It has the latest Bluetooth tec and so interfaces with Tobii for phone calls etc. Cool but a work out or high learning curve for all..
