Mindexpress

Mind Express™ is an easy to use computer program that has everything a speech therapist or teacher needs to create new communication grids and exercises. A huge variety of symbols, pictures, speech, music and sounds can be used to make interesting and stimulating methods of communication.

Mind Express™ allows people to form words and sentences by selecting pictures and symbols, which can be spoken out loud using a clear, high quality speech engine. Mind Express™ also has a built in grammar module, which provides automatic conjugations of verbs.

An extensive range of symbols and icons are available for use in Mind Express. They can be used to create communication grids and games and can also be extended with your own drawings, photos or new symbols.
Mind Express is very easy to adapt and update, so that communication grids can be kept up to date and reflect the progression of each individual. The SymbolStix symbol set is included with Mind Express.

Mind Express™ can be accessed via touch screen, mouse, trackball, joystick, headmouse, eye tracking system and 1 or 2 switch scanning. The appropriate access method enables the user to work independently, often increasing self-esteem and providing stimulation for creativity and development.

Mind Express also has a built-in word processor, which allows letters or articles to be saved, printed or read aloud. The sentence window in Mind Express™ acts like a built-in graphical word processor allowing the user to create a letter using symbols or text or both. Literate individuals can write using the alphabet or whole words to form sentences. For fast communication, one can put a whole sentence into a square. A cell can be programmed to display one of the word predictions. Mind Express can predict a word from the selection of individual characters or symbols on any page and will also predict the next word in the message that is being created. By selecting a predicted word in the presented list you immediately initiate the prediction of the following word.
