In one small package, this Lightwriter is an exciting new text to speech aid which helps the user to communicate widely and to control their environment.

Splashproof membrane fitted over the keyboard as standard.

SL35/Cherry - Large Keyboard Lightwriter
We offer two models of Lightwriter with larger keyboards than standard, each based on the Lightwriter SL35, and designed for people who need a larger keyboard. The SL35/Cherry has a laptop computer-sized keyboard and is particularly suited for people who type with two hands.

SL87 - Keyboard Lightwriter with scanning

The SL87 Lightwriter is a compact integrated scanning communication aid, with very high legibility. The keyboard permits users with progressive conditions to migrate from direct selection to scanning at their own pace, with no delays in reassessment, ordering, or supply. When the SL87 is used in scanning mode, the keyboard allows faster creation of user memories and change of setups by the therapist or carer.
