Hello,
I am wondering if anyone might be able to help us out. My grandmother has ALS and is approaching the point where she can’t operate her speech device at all – but I have a good idea of how we can still make good use of device. I plan to install some normal remote access software on it, and then anyone in our family would be able to log in and use the device to show her pictures and whatnot remotely – without her having to actually manipulate the device herself. I believe this also would encourage her to use the device more, as she’s reluctant to even use it much.
We were very lucky to have the ALS foundation in our area supply the Say-it!Sam XP1 touch screen windows based device, but for insurance reasons – the device is locked out from the normal windows operation – which is preventing me from installing the remote access software.
There is a way to unlock this using either an activation code, or a USB drive which they will send you – although it seems this is not allowed because the device was paid for by insurance (they don’t want people to abuse insurance and use the device for non-medical reasons). If anyway has done the unlock on a device like this and would be willing to help me out, please send me a message. It would mean a lot, thank you.
