The Allora is an easy to use keyboard based text-to-speech communicator. Any message written on the clear display is read out clearly and comprehensibly in a high quality natural sounding male or female English voice.
The Allora has a silicone elastomeric waterproof keyboard with normal sized keys. The tactile key switches have a small travel and low actuation force. A keyguard is available at extra cost.
The LCD display consists of 2 lines of 40 characters. The first line is used to write the message. The second line displays the word prediction list.
Allora’s advanced text-to-speech system is extended with an intelligent word prediction system. While a message is written on the first line of the display, the second line displays a predicted list of words that begin with the already typed character(s). When a complete word has been typed or inserted, Allora predicts the next word using its knowledge of word pairs. Allora’s word prediction can save about 50% of keystrokes, which significantly speeds up communication.
Allora has a dedicated switch to recall pre-stored messages. Commonly used phrases can be easily programmed under any keyboard key switch.
The optional infra-red remote control module (GEWA) allows you to control infra-red based equipment using Allora. For example, Allora can learn the infra-red codes of your television to turn it on or off, change channel and control the volume.
