Spok21 speaking out loud for those who can't.

Igel, a German company specialised for the last 20 years in accessibility, has chosen Acapela text to speech to voice enable Spok21, its innovative communication device designed for people with speech disorders. Spok21, which has been recently unveiled to the market, is a transportable communication tool for disabled people looking for an easy-to-use, ergonomic product packaged in a colourful and well designed device.

Spok21 has embedded Acapela text to speech in order to read out loud any typed information, in real time, with a natural sounding result, opening up a new way of communicating.

Designed with everyday use in mind, Spok21 aims to be a convivial and smart companion to help users communicate with other people. With the large display and ergonomic keypad, the users can easily type in their message. The text to speech result is rendered loud and clear via two integrated loudspeakers for optimal intelligibility. A large memory size allows the users to store their own recurrent messages. Six shortcut keys provide a quick access to short phrases. A long battery life ensures autonomy and last but not least, design has been pushed up to the colour touch with a choice of four different colours.

Spok21 is available in 5 languages and already marketed in Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden and UK.
