DynoVox is launching a handheld communication device for those that suffer from a speech impairment caused by a stroke/aphasia, autism, Down syndrome, traumatic brain injury or ALS. Compact and lightweight, the Xpress can easily fit into either a pocket or a ladies purse.
In addition to a dictionary of words, phrases and emoticons, this handheld device supports both Wi-Fi for web access as well as Bluetooth so that PC accessories such as mice and keyboards can be attached.
The Xpress comes with 8GB of flash memory that can be used to store multimedia files such as digital photos, MP3 and video files.
It is anticipated that this device will retail at the end of August for $7,500. Some funding for the purchase of this product may be available through Medicare, Medicaid and some private health insurance providers.
