There are currently several camera models available that work with Mind Express. You can engage and discover eye gaze with the free Mind Express file MaximEyes. You can also choose to select the cell by blinking your eyes, or by pressing a switch. For example, you can use a shorter dwell for letters and a slightly longer dwell for prediction cells. In Mind Express you can set up to 3 different dwell times. If you keep looking at a cell, it will be selected automatically after an adjustable time (dwell time). First, you calibrate the camera by following a target around the screen, then you can access your communication computer with your eyes. When you use eye tracking, a special camera tracks the movements of your eyes. It is a paid file but you can try it out for 10 days. This Mind Express file has been created by Linda Burkhart. You can develop the motor/cognitive abilities to activate first a single switch, and then 2 switches (based upon the individual’s own intent) with the Steps before Step Scanning file. Joystick control can work with a switch-based joystick (up, down, left and right) or mouse-based joysticks. Mind Express incorporates many scanning algorithms to suit your needs. How and in what order the cells are highlighted is up to you. This selection method can be controlled with one or two switches. Then Mind Express will step over the cells in the selected row again until you get to the desired word, after which you press a switch again to select it. If the word is in the highlighted row, you select that row by pressing a switch. For example, row by row is being highlighted. Switch access, also called scanning, means that Mind Express “steps” over the cells with an adjustable rhythm. If direct access is not possible due to motor challenges such as dystonia, low muscle tone or spasticity then you can alternatively control Mind Express with a mouse, trackball, joystick, head tracking, eye gaze or using switches.Īccessing by using a mouse or trackball allows you to navigate to your target and select your cell. You adjust the settings in Mind Express to help avoid accidental or repeated selections. ![]() You can even use a touch screen when your motor skills are less refined. The most natural and obvious access method is through a touch screen. This is only possible if you can access the AAC device by yourself. You expect nothing less from a voice!Ĭommunicating independently means that you decide what you want to say at what time. Mind Express is designed to be as personal and flexible as possible. Environmental control such as switching on lights, opening a door or operating the television is also possible.Īccess Mind Express with a touch screen, a mouse or trackball, a joystick, one or two switches, head tracking and eye gaze. ![]() You can also use Mind Express for e-mails, texting, calling and social media such as Facebook and WhatsApp. Organizations, clinics and schools also use Mind Express as a communication and teaching aid for children and adults.
