Txtlocal Works with Technology Company to Provide a Voice for the Unspoken
  through SMS 
From: Wireless Design & Development

Mobile marketing and communications company Txtlocal are working with Time Is
Ltd. (TIL) on their product JayBee, to help individuals with a wide variety
of illnesses and varying degrees of disability to communicate both audibly
and instantly with the outside world. 

JayBee is a system which allows those who do not have the power of speech to
communicate fully, fluently and quickly. Developed by satellite control
systems company Time Is Ltd, and text-to-speech solutions CereProc, JayBee
uses various "triggers" such as hand movements, touch screen, head movements
and even a simple blink of an eye, to transform predictive text phrases into
very realistic British voices which add character to the audible
communication. Designed initially for people with Motor Neurone Disease,
JayBee allows users to say exactly what they want to say. It learns their
communication patterns using technology initially used by TIL in the Space
Industry.
