Tobii ATI introduced two new communication devices especially designed for people with communication disabilities, or in other words, people who can’t speak.
The main technology that stands at the base of the two models is text-to-speech and the devices are called Tobii C8 and Tobii C12. Now let’s see what these two feature and what the differences between the two are.
Tobii C8 and Tobii C12 were designed like tablet PCs and are modular so that users can change applications and input methods according to their needs.



They can turn into speech not only the texts but also the symbols.
While Tobii C8 has an 8-inch touchscreen display and can be controlled either via a switch, a standard keyboard or a mouse,featuring infrared remote control functionality for TV panels and switch lights, the 12-inch Tobii C12 adds eye control for those who can’t use standard keyboards.

The module that enables this high-end technology is called Tobii CEYE and allows the user to just look at the display and control the mouse by blinking, dwelling and using the switch.
To learn more about the two devices you may browse the official website or visit ATIA 2009 in Orlando until January 31, where they will be showcased.



"The launch of the Tobii C8 and C12 is a proud moment for us. We have taken what we have learned from our successful MiniMercs, Mercuries, and MyTobii P10s and paired that with the market's requests for a lighter, more reliable and energy efficient device. The result is a communication platform that will help many remarkable individuals to live more fulfilled, integrated and independent lives," says Jane Walerud, Business Area Manager of Assistive Technologies at Swedish Tobii Technology AB.
