Description

After my tracheostomy, I could no longer talk. We were able to try out a couple of Tobii Dynavox eye gaze devices in the hospital. The first device was built on an Apple iPad. Steve used it for a day. It worked well but was not compatible with Ability Drive’s eye control. We tried the Windows version next.

Steve was good with the Windows version. We worked with the Tobii representative to order our device and stands. All these items were covered by Medicare. We got the device set up at home. You can find more information about the communication software in this section.

Steve is very happy with the choice of Windows. With his many years of experience working with Windows, there was no learning curve. The only issue is that the version is Windows 10 and cannot be upgraded to Windows 11. And Windows 10 is no longer supported by Microsoft. Tobii Dynavox has committed to providing support. Regardless, Steve would prefer to be on Windows 11.

Steve has the 13-inch TD I-13. It comes with 16 GB of RAM and an Intel Core i5 processor. It weighs 5.3 pounds. He also received the floor stand and the wheelchair mounts.
