SpeechPRO is the new and improved version of our wildly successful “Gus Multimedia Speech System for Windows” software that launched our company in 1992.

SpeechPRO brings crystal clear text-to-speech to anyone who is unable to verbally communicate with friends, family, and the public.

SpeechPRO offers a single software solution for all skill levels...

*Autistic children using picture or symbol based communication

*Stroke patients using a combination of symbols and text (aphasia, dysarthria etc.)

*ALS patients that require a full featured text based system, with “switch-scanning” features to maintain access to SpeechPRO for communication when they are unable to use a mouse and keyboard
*Laryngectomy and cancer patients who require a complete speech solution with multiple pages of text based words and phrases

* Free trial version uses Microsoft voices. Paid version includes Neospeech voices.

SpeechPRO supports unlimited pages to create a fully functional “dynamic display AAC” system, using text and/or pictures.
•Name: The text... “Hello”...that appears on the button
•Value: The text to speak for the button...“Hello there, how have you been?”

Each button can contain text of any length.
The spoken text isn't limited by the text "label"
displayed on the button.
•Fully customized buttons. Font size, color,
type and characteristics (bold, italic etc.). Add a
digital photograph or a communication symbol! Even
make a button "invisible" to remove distractions and
improve scanning efficiency. Buttons accept characters
from any language.
•Picture: SpeechPRO supports communication symbols, graphics and digital photographs.

SpeechPRO includes a complete library of over 5,500 communication symbols.

SpeechPRO includes a alphabetic vocabulary file named wordlist.txt , however, a vocabulary file with a language vocabulary other then English can be used instead.

Simply rename your text file (eg. GermanVocab.txt) to wordlist.txt, save it into the SpeechPRO folder (C:\Program Files\SpeechPRO) and SpeechPRO will use that vocabulary.

How do you edit the buttons? S-I-M-P-L-E

Just press the “Ctrl” key and click any button.

Make your changes and click OK. That’s it!!

**Please Read - IMPORTANT** - Dec 1, 2009: Gus Communication Devices offers COMPLETE speech solutions at Co-Pay (20%) prices ***

Almost every day, we hear from people who have NO insurance, or have insurance that won’t pay for a speech device, or who don’t qualify for Medicare or Medicaid because of age or economic position. And over the past 17 years, we’ve seen these calls increasing in number and frequency. Added to this...Blue Cross has lowered the maximum it will pay toward a speech device to $1,000 and, the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Assoc) has cancelled it’s $2,000 funding for speech devices beginning Jan. 1, 2010.

So today we decided to do something about it.

What if we offered our speech packages at prices that matched the out-of-pocket costs (20%) fully insured individuals spend on our competitors $8,800 speech packages? And what if we made those prices available to anyone whether they had insurance or not?

In other words, remove the medical device “reimbursement max” ($7,100) out of the price completely.

One VERY competitive price for all....individuals, schools, hospitals, DME suppliers and health insurance providers.

The following chart demonstrates how without ANY insurance, an individual’s out-of-pocket expense is equivalent to what a fully insured individual would pay to obtain an equivalent speech package from our “medical” competitors.

*** Don’t forget...our systems carry name brands like Panasonic, HP, Fujitsu and others. The DME systems are manufactured “in-house”.

If you have no insurance, are tired of fighting with your insurance, or need a speech device in a timely manner at a fair price...
