It's Here!
This week has been very busy and exciting for me. My augmentative communication device arrived late last week and I LOVE IT. Many times when getting a new piece of equipment, it just doesn't live up to your expectations, but not this, it is all I hoped for and more. This device is a Quick Glance 3 system by Eye Tech and uses the Viking Communicator 3 Pro software. The system is very versitile and can be controlled in many ways but I love the eye tracking feature which uses your eyes to control the cursor and an eye blink is the same as a mouse click. It is very easy to set up and I am finding it very easy to use. Actually I am quite surprised as I thought it would take a long time to learn. I have heard stories of how difficult some systems are to set up and learn and even how some PALS just give up trying. Not this one, it is not only easy to use but actually quite fun for me. I haven't used it enough yet to know all the features but keep finding new things daily. As I continue to lose my strength and voice, even as slowly as I am, it is comforting to know that I can still have a voice and be able to use the computer and even control my environment such as the TV and lights using this system. It is great.
Thank you again to Todd at Forbes Rehab Solutions for getting me set up with the right system and for his patience in getting it all functioning for me. I highly recommend Todd and Forbes to anyone. If anyone would want their contact imformation, just e-mail me and I would be glad to share it with you. I do believe that they only service Ohio and surrounding areas. I will share more soon and maybe even a picture of me using it.........Debbie
