Lightwriter® SL40

The Lightwriter® SL40 is a small, elegant, and powerful communication device for those needing voice output.

The SL40 quickly and clearly converts text to high quality Acapela speech, sends and receives text messages (SMS), stores notes and contacts, acts as a remote control and more, all in a lightweight and durable device.

Dual Display

In addition to the user display, there is a high-resolution, large print, forward facing display allows listeners to read messages from the individual typing. The readable display allows communication in noisy environments and when silence is important.

Word prediction for faster speech

Word prediction makes communication more efficient. The Lightwriter® SL40 acquires new words for the word prediction based on the user's own vocabulary. The predicted words appear in the four tabs at the bottom of the Lightwriter® screen.

Word prediction significantly reduces the number of keystrokes required and benefits most people using the device. This includes those who type slowly, people using head pointers, poor spellers, and people with word completion difficulties.

Built in environmental control

The built in infrared of the Lightwriter® SL40 can be programmed to control appliances, toys and some home control systems.

Accessible keyboard

The keyboard on the SL40 has adaptable keyboard sensitivity. It is equipped with three changeable key guards of different depths, which increases ease of use and typing accuracy. The layout can easily be changed to different QWERTY and ABC formats.

Durable design and long battery life

The Lightwriter® SL40 features an ergonomic design, easy to clean keyboard, scratch resistant screen cover and an impact resistant case allowing it to handle everyday wear and tear with ease.

Rechargeable long life batteries provide the power for all day use, and the automatic suspend state of the Lightwriter® saves on the battery charge. The time the SL40 stays on before suspending is adjustable. For those who travel, an optional car charger is available.

Easy to set up and use

The Lightwriter® SL40 has been designed with the user and speech language pathologist (SLP) in mind - where a lot of effort has been put into making the device easy to set up and to use. High quality speech is only a few key presses away.
