Speaks4me Limited is a fresh, dynamic Augmentative/Alternative Communications company that was established by a father of a child with severe autism who is completely non-verbal for over 10 years. Utilising his extensive 20+ years in computer electronic product design and software application development, in conjunction with his own personal experiences of daily living with a child with complex and severe impairments - he has created the unique speaks4me electronic communication and educational learning device. Our key commitment is to strive to create and develop, highly-innovative communication applications and educational learning products that are: - easy and consistent to configure and use
- reliable and robust to use all-day, everyday
- affordable to financially aware parents, educational and healthcare organisations and professionals
Our initial, innovative and patent-pending speaks4me product is based on dragging and dropping on-screen picture symbols to create single or multi-word sentences that can be spoken when an on-screen Speak button is pressed. A highly intuitive and customisable, user-interface allows for single or multiple symbol categories to be displayed, such as: Actions, Animals, Colours, Favourites, Food & Drink, etc. Disclaimer: Although the pictures used in Speaks4me are used under license from Pyramid Educational Consultants Inc, this device is not approved or endorsed by Pyramid Educational Consultants Inc.
