Key Features and Benefits

Communicate. Connect. Create.

The V+ combines the power of a personal computer with the most advanced AAC methodology and technology available today. The result? A highly customisable system that gives augmented communicators more flexibility and freedom than ever before. Customise page sets and access methods. Accelerate message composition. Stay connected with optional email and text messaging. Use your favourite software programs. Enjoy the convenience of remotely controlled household appliances. In short, experience a new era of communication and connectivity.


The InterAACt advantage

Structure and consistency in page layout, navigation, and key functionality have been designed into the V+ with Series 5 Software and InterAACt page sets. These dynamic page sets are organised in logical categories according to age and skill level, making core words and phrases easy to find. And for individuals who are building skills, the page sets encourage language and literacy development.


Navigator Page Set

Ideal for use by literate communicators. Alphabet-based for intuitive, out-of-the-box use, it focuses on keyboards and core words, and includes content driven by words and phrases common in spoken language. Find out more about the Navigator Page Set.


Give voice to your thoughts

Using virtually any access method, users choose a symbol or scene from the large colour touch screen. The device “speaks” the corresponding word or phrase using a synthesised or digitised voice. A wide range of preloaded, synthesised voices (including Nuance RealSpeak Karen and Lee Australian Voices, AT&T Natural Voices, and Acapela HQ Child and Adult Voices) have enhanced levels of clarity, projection, and intelligibility. Messages can be understood immediately in any setting.


Create the message

With the V+, you can communicate faster than ever. There are the standard shortcuts, built-in spell checker, and even phrase prediction features you’d expect, but that’s just the beginning. Sophisticated capabilities keep conversations moving quickly. Groups of common phrases can be quickly tailored to the immediate situation. Short, conversational interjections are available right on the main page. You can also create longer messages in advance and use them later as needed.


Customisation that works with you

The pre-programmed InterAACt page sets can be customised to suit each user’s needs. An easy-to-follow Setup Wizard walks you through the process and then loads a recommended set of pages, symbols, and voices. Modify InterAACt page templates or create original pages from scratch. Pull images from the Picture Communication Symbols and DynaSyms symbol sets preloaded on every device. Or, import content and images from other DynaVox software and other applications.


Connect with the world

For wireless access to computers, the Internet, and electronic communication methods, such as email and text messaging, the standard (open) version of the V+ is unmatched. You can run any Microsoft Windows 7-compatible software application directly on the V+ or operate an external computer with AccessIT. Compose and print word processor documents. Surf the Internet or send email using any access method. Set up a web camera. And with MP3 player functions, you can store your music and create playlists using any access method.


Access power

The V+ offers the widest variety of access methods in the AAC industry, including touch enter and exit, visual and auditory scanning, audio touch, eye tracking, mouse pause, headtrackers, joystick, Morse code, touch autozoom, and zoom scanning. Each of these unique selection methods can be customised to suit the specific needs and goals of an individual. All of the system tools, as well as ways to modify and create pages, are available to users of any input method.

Compatible Mobile/Cell Phones

Here is the list of mobile phones which work with the DynaVox Bluetooth interface. Other makes and models of mobile phones may work, but these are the ones DynaVox has successfully tested. The Maestro, V+ and Vmax+ only work with a phone with a GPRS SIM card, not 3G. See tips on common Bluetooth issues on compatible phones.

Please note: Your phone service provider is also an important consideration. Telstra SIM cards have been tested as compatible. Optus have recently changed the way in which they transmit text messages and their SIM cards are no longer compatible with the text messaging functions in the Maestro, V+ and Vmax+. As yet, other phone service providers have not been tested. We strongly suggest that you purchase a phone which is not locked to a specific service provider to allow you to change service provider in case of difficulties.
