Communication is key
Tobii C8 allows people with communication disabilities to achieve their full potential. They can communicate via text or symbols to generate synthesised or digitised speech for face-to-face interaction or connect through email, text messages or chat.
Users also have the freedom and flexibility to
- write and edit documents
- surf the Internet
- play music and games
- control a TV, DVD and other household appliances (additional equipment required)
- even plan and manage their time
All this makes independence easy!
Features and Benefits
Your choice of software
The Tobii C8 allows users to select and implement the most appropriate software language options and settings for fast and effective communication. At any time a user can decide to alter these choices or upgrade the system or software to accommodate their changing needs and interests.
The Tobii C8 includes Tobii Communicator Premium Edition package , which allows for communication via text, or with over 15,000 SymbolStix icons. The Tobii Communicator Premium software includes email, text messaging, and environmental control.
The Tobii C8 also comes with Sono Suite. These ready-made page sets suit a range of users. Sono Scribe and Sono Key are perfect for users with good literacy skills and Sono Lexis and Sono Primo provide great options for users who need symbol support to access their communication pages and the device.
The Tobii C8 can also run other (optional) Windows compatible communication software such as The Grid 2.
Easy to set up, easy to use
Personalised setup is simple, and only takes a few minutes. Multiple user profiles can even be stored on a single device making it ideal for use in the classroom and for those wanting separate user settings depending on the time of day.
Extreme portability
The Tobii C8 is lightweight and can easily be carried between home, school or work – using the integrated desk stand, or it can be mounted and used on a wheelchair. It allows users to be active on the playground or in their community by offering impressive battery life, hot swappable batteries, a moisture resistant construction, silent operation, powerful stereo speakers, and a flat and easy to clean screen.
With no protruding USB sticks, cables, or adapters the design is not only sleek and attractive, but also less distracting, and less susceptible to damage.
Personalisation made easy
The Tobii C8 is easy to personalise. The interchangeable coloured side panels can change the appearance of the device from discrete to colourful in seconds.
Standard two-year warranty
A two year all inclusive warranty is offered on this Tobii AAC device. Tobii Extended Warranties are available which allows you to extend your original warranty for up to two years – for a total of four years.
