PRODUCT FEATURES



• Writing

Type into the Message Window using the on-screen keyboard. Press the Speak button to have text in the Message Window spoken. ClaroCom can also speak each word as it is typed or inserted into the Message Window.

Text in the Message Window can be spoken using the standard iOS TTS voices.

Use the built in Word Prediction and Phrase Prediction to speed up writing.

Find a phrase using the phrase banks to create text. ClaroCom is loaded with some standard phrases. More phrases can be added and history is stored of what is typed.



• Word Prediction

ClaroCom has built in Word Prediction when typing into the Message Window. ClaroCom's Word Prediction takes account of word frequency and previous words. There is an initial Word Prediction list loaded on startup, and ClaroCom can learn new words as they are typed if desired.



• Phrase Prediction

ClaroCom has the option of Phrase Prediction when typing into the Message Window. The phrases are loaded from the contents of the visible categories and ClaroCom stores new phrases that are typed or added. The predicted phrases appear on a Phrase bar above the keyboard. Phrases can be easily searched for, and bulk phrases can be easily added.

Prediction works with acronyms, so as 'awn' is typed, 'Are We Nearly There Yet?' appear instantly. This is very fast way to build up and learn a collection of phrases rapidly.

Speak a predicted word or phrase immediately with a ‘touch and hold’ instead of composing into a message – another faster way to get speech out.



A swipe brings up more phrases and words that can be easily scanned through.



Phrases can include fillable prompts so ClaroCom will know, when the 'I would like ___' phrase is selected, that immediately the user will be asked for the word to complete the phrase.



• System Voices

Use any of the voices already installed on your iOS device. The voice can be made to speak faster or slower as suits the user.



• Font and Colour

Change the font size, colour or use a more-readable font to maximise ease-of-reading, making ClaroCom easily adaptable to different users' needs.



ClaroCom Pro is also available which includes two in-built high-quality voices, a larger prediction dictionary, send text to Facebook and Twitter, add bulk phrase lists using iTunes or paste and save, add extra custom categories, more colour settings, pinch to zoom and flip display functions.
