Key Features and Benefits

Say Anything. Go Anywhere. Built Tough.

Maestro empowers users to say anything that they want to say from anywhere they want to say it. Make every page meaningful by building custom pages within the InterAACt software, developed with years of research and feedback from users. Capture memories and share them with family and friends with the built-in digital camera. Move from place to place and connect to accessories and the internet with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth wireless capability. Maestro is also built tough, based on Military standards for extreme operating conditions, making sure that the communication is always possible – despite how the devices are handled. Maestro – feel good about owning and using it!

The InterAACt advantage

Structure and consistency in page layout, navigation, and key functionality have been designed into the Maestro with InterAACt page sets and Series 5 Software. These dynamic page sets are organised in logical categories according to age and skill level, making core words and phrases easy to find. And, for individuals who are building skills, the page sets encourage language and literacy development.

Give voice to your thoughts

Using virtually any access method, users choose a symbol or scene from the large, colour touch screen. The device “speaks” the corresponding word or phrase using a synthesised or digitised voice. A wide range of preloaded, synthesised voices (including Nuance RealSpeak Karen and Lee Australian Voices, AT&T Natural Voices, and Acapela HQ Child and Adult Voices) have enhanced levels of clarity, projection, and intelligibility. Messages can be understood immediately in any setting.

Create the message

With the Maestro, you can communicate faster than ever. There are the standard shortcuts, built-in spell checker, and even phrase prediction features you’d expect, but that’s just the beginning. Sophisticated capabilities keep conversations moving quickly. Groups of common phrases can be quickly tailored to the immediate situation. Short, conversational interjections are available right on the main page. You can also create longer messages in advance and use them later as needed.

Customisation that works with you

The pre-programmed InterAACt page sets can be customised to suit each user’s needs. An easy-to-follow Setup Wizard walks you through the process and then loads a recommended set of pages, symbols, and voices. Modify InterAACt page templates or create original pages from scratch. Pull images from the Picture Communication Symbols and DynaSyms symbol sets preloaded on every device. Or, import content and images from other DynaVox software and other applications.

Connect with the world

For wireless access to computers, the internet, and electronic communication methods, such as email and text messaging, the standard (open) versions of the Maestro are unmatched. You can run any Microsoft Windows 7-compatible software application directly on the Maestro or operate an external computer with AccessIT. Compose and print word processor documents. Surf the Internet or send email using any access method. Set up a web camera. And with MP3 player functions, you can store your music and create playlists using any access method.

Access power

The Maestro offers the widest variety of access methods in the AAC industry, including touch enter and exit, visual and auditory scanning, audio touch, mouse pause, headtrackers, joystick, Morse code, touch autozoom, and zoom scanning. Each of these unique selection methods can be customised to suit the specific needs and goals of an individual. All of the system tools, as well as ways to modify and create pages, are available to users of any input method.

Environmental matters

For added convenience, you can use your Maestro to “tie into” common electronic devices around the house. Program it to act as a universal remote for a television, CD or DVD player, light switches, or any other item that can be operated with a remote control.

eBook capabilities

Integrated eBook capabilities mean users can load an eBook onto their Maestro for reading, or have their device read it to them. The Maestro will support DAISY and Text format eBooks and a variety of additional behaviours and tools have been added allowing users to completely customise an eBook page which will be most useful to their individual needs.

Available in Dedicated and Standard Versions

The DynaVox Maestro may be ordered in Dedicated or Standard setups. The Dedicated setup is designed specifically to run communication software only.
