What we provide

We specialise in two communication aid solutions that cover the majority of needs. Both are supplied, configured, and supported by us directly.

App-Based

iPad Configured as an AAC Device

We take a standard iPad and configure it as a dedicated Augmentative and Alternative Communication device. We install and set up the right AAC app for your needs, customise your vocabulary, symbols, and phrases, and make sure it works exactly the way you do.

  • Professional AAC app installation and setup
  • Custom vocabulary and symbol programming
  • Touch, switch, or head-mouse access options
  • Familiar Apple hardware — robust and widely supported
  • Can integrate with your wider smart home / ECS system
  • Training for you, family, and carers
Dedicated Device

Abilia Lightwriter SL50

The Lightwriter SL50 is a dedicated speech-generating device for people who have lost their voice or whose speech is unclear. You type what you want to say and it speaks it aloud — clearly, instantly, and in a voice you choose. Built specifically for AAC, it is robust, reliable, and straightforward to use.

  • Large high-contrast display — easy to read indoors and outdoors
  • Two screens — one facing you, one facing the person you're speaking to
  • Predictive text to speed up communication
  • Multiple voice options including UK voices
  • Long battery life for full-day use
  • Can be NHS / HSC funded for eligible individuals
Voice Amplifier

EchoVoice® EV7™

The EchoVoice EV7 is a brand new compact voice amplification system sensitive enough to dramatically amplify even the faintest voice. Its 10 Watt digital amplifier delivers high power audio output with clear, natural sound quality — in a small, wearable package.

  • 10 Watt digital amplifier — high power, clear output
  • Sensitive microphone picks up even the faintest voice
  • Compact and lightweight — easy to wear all day
  • Suitable for one-to-one and group settings
  • Ideal for MND, Parkinson's, and post-surgery voice loss
  • No speech generation required — amplifies your own voice
Voice Amplifier

Micro Voice Amplifier

The Micro Voice is designed for people with a weak or strained voice, or those who use their voice intensively. If you are healing from surgery or have more permanent damage to your vocal cords, Micro Voice lets you get your message across loud and clear — without straining or causing further damage.

  • Amplifies weak or strained voices confidently
  • Safe to use post-surgery or with vocal cord damage
  • Works indoors, outdoors, and in noisy environments
  • Suitable for speaking to groups or one-to-one
  • Gives you control over your voice volume
  • Discreet and comfortable for all-day use
