Advanced multisensory technology to solve difficult communication challenges in education, the workplace, and public access venues.
The iCommunicator™ software program is a leading edge communication access technology. This very powerful tool provides a multisensory, interactive communication solution for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing and other persons who experience unique communication challenges. The iCommunicator promotes independent communication for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing, and is offered as an alternative, rather than a replacement, for sign language interpreters.

Real-time Translation
Speech-to-Text-to-Sign
As the first advanced speech-to-text technology of its kind to enter the marketplace, the iCommunicator allows effective two-way communication to occur in most natural environments. Speakers create a speech/voice profile and then transmit to the end user’s computer where the iCommunicator program efficiently converts in real-time:
> Speech To Text
> Speech To Video Sign Language
> Speech To Computer Generated Voice
> Text To Computer-generated Voice Or Video Sign Language

End User Benefits
Unparallelled Opportunities
The iCommunicator’s unique technological features provide end users with unparalleled opportunities to achieve efficient, effective communication in most natural environments. A simple point and click of the iText tool allows end users to have email, web pages, and documents created in other applications signed and/or spoken through the iCommunicator program. End users have the opportunity to:
> Achieve Equal Access to Acoustic Information
> Increase Spoken Language Comprehension
> Achieve Two-way Communication
> Improve Reading And Language Skills
> Increase Independence And Self-confidence
> Increase Opportunities For Advancement and Success in Education, Employment, Personal Relationships, and Public Access Venues
> Improve Quality of Life

The iCommunciator program is being used in K-12 education, post-secondary institutions, government, and public access sites across the United States and Canada.

High Quality Speech Input
The manufacturer has qualified the LightSPEED and Parrott units as the only high quality microphones that are compatible with the iCommunicator software in order to achieve maximum translation accuracy. Prior to shipping, the LightSPEED system is professionally calibrated to optimal settings to support maximum performance and translation accuracy. Peripheral assistive hearing devices such as personal FM systems, hearing aids, and cochlear implant speech processors may be coupled with the computer to take advantage of the iCommunicator’s unique features. The LightSPEED LES 370 FM system transmits on the 216 MHz and is compatible with Phonak’s Microlink and other FM devices transmitting on that carrier frequency. The LightSPEED FM transmits up to 300 ft., allowing the speaker flexibility when transmitting to the computer.

Focus on Literacy
English Word Order Translation
Concern about the literacy levels of many persons who are deaf and hard of hearing was the inspiration for development of this breakthrough technology. The iCommunicator program delivers American Sign Language (ASL) signs in English word order (subject+verb+object) to improve the association between spoken, written, and signed words, and promote literacy development. The video sign language library contains more than 9,200 individual video clips. Careful evaluation of potential end user (or application) needs and the system features is encouraged to ensure that iCommunicator is a viable technology solution. Candidacy Criteria Considerations have been developed to assist professional evaluation and planning teams in making these decisions.
(Refer to Candidacy Criteria Considerations for more information.)
Training to Ensure Positive Outcomes
End Users, Speakers, and Implementation Managers
The iCommunicator uses continuous recognition of natural speech to translate speech to text and/or sign language in real time. It is important that end users, speakers, and implementation managers of this assistive technology receive appropriate training in order to achieve positive outcomes when using the technology. Successfully trained persons will easily be able to use and maintain the iCommunicator program and peripherals. For most speakers it is possible to establish a speech/voice recognition profile with very high accuracy in less than one hour of training. The iCommunicator Training Manual provides a systematic training process that includes practice exercises. If desired, personalized professional training can be arranged through an Authorized iCommunicator Reseller.
Section 508 Compatibility
Compatible with Microsoft Accessibility Options
The manufacturer is committed to helping the government, as well as private and public sector businesses, provide improved accessibility of information and technology through its products, information, services, and programs. As such, the iCommunicator website and software application meet Section 508 requirements for electronic and information technology accessibility.

The iCommunicator™ software program runs efficiently on most high-end notebook or desktop computers that meet the minimum computer hardware specifications. ICommunicator must be ordered with either the professional wireless microphone system that has been calibrated prior to shipping, or the standard wired microphone. These are the only high quality microphones that are compatible with the iCommunicator™ software to achieve maximum translation accuracy. The manufacturer will take no responsibility for product failure if the purchaser uses an alternative microphone
