 Palmtop
Portable IMPACT is the smallest and most affordable of our communication
devices, yet it offers all of the features supported by its larger
cousins. Weighing  only
9 ounces, the Palmtop offers unparalleled convenience and portability.
When installed in its sturdy nylon carrying case with external speaker
(both included), it is ideally suited for mobile users. In addition, it
can serve as an unobtrusive mounted device for users with limited
mobility.

Palmtop Portable IMPACT ships
with 9 different pre-defined onscreen keyboards and 1 pre-defined
symbol-based interface. Of course, with the built-in interface editor you
can create your own symbol-based and phrase-based configurations right on
the device. Below you'll find thumbnail pictures of each of the Palmtop
interfaces. Just click on the picture to see a full-sized view of one of
the configurations.

The
Alpha configuration provides an alphabetically arranged keyboard
that requires no memorization to use. The Alpha-List interface
includes a 4 word prediction list to accelerate message
production. A second page (on both) provides access to numbers
and additional punctuation. |
| |
|
|
 |
 |
The
Direct and Direct-List interfaces are designed to minimize
stylus (or finger) movements. Letters that often occur together,
like "er" and "th" are adjacent to one
another. These interfaces require some learning at first, but
offer substantial rewards in the long run. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
The
Scan, Scan-List, and Scan-Char configurations are optimized for
scanning selection. More frequent characters are placed near the
upper left corner so that they can be selected more quickly
using row-column scanning. Unlike the Alpha and Direct
interfaces, all the characters are located on a single page. The
Scan-Char layout includes a character prediction list (shown to
provide even greater efficiency than does word prediction). |
| |
|
|
 |
 |
The
Ambig-Char and Ambig-Word interfaces have 3 characters on each
button. Each time you select a button, Portable IMPACT tries to
figure out which character you meant by looking at the earlier
letters and words that you typed. When the system guesses
incorrectly, you simply tell it to try another guess. |
| |
|
|
| |
 |
The
Symbol-Base configuration is designed to serve as an example of
the type of symbol-based interface that you can generate
yourself using the built-in interface editor. Modify this
interface or create your own from scratch! |
