The best of two worlds
Sono Lexis is a powerful modular system of symbol vocabulary page sets that enable users without literacy skills to build their own sentences word by word.
Sono Lexis combines the advantages of motor memory learning by solid navigation architecture with the approach of the Fitzgerald Key.
By merging the best of two vocabulary strategies, users need neither learn hundreds of abstract icon combinations, nor lose their way in the maze of convoluted, tree-shape designed symbol pages.
A structured and easy to learn core
The system adopts the concept of a core vocabulary, meaning that a moderate number of flexible and generic words make up a large portion of all spoken utterances.
Page sets are easy to individualize and maintain, but most importantly, the concept shortens the user’s initial learning phase.
Major personal achievements
Focus has been put on enabling users to maneuver through the vocabulary autonomously. Smart navigation functions are helpful toward this end by offering a variety of feedback features, maximum structure consistency, and a step-by-step complexity gauge.
Grammar functions like changing verb tenses are easy to apply and it is easy to set all main settings within the run view of the vocabulary.
Speed increase for advanced users
A quick access variant is an alternative to the approach of highly structured layouts with fixed navigation buttons. The solution addresses the interest of advanced users, optimizing the final bit of communication speed.
Three different grid sizes, each with a high structure and quick access variant, coupled with the context module system ensure that Sono Lexis matches a range of preferences and needs for AAC users.
Easy to extend functionality
Long-distance communication modules such as phone use, text messaging (SMS), instant messaging or email are easily incorporated in Sono Lexis, and fully benefit from the sophisticated functions of Tobii Communicator Software.
