* Natural Selection Prediction
Your Lightwriter® will automatically remember the words and phrases you type and how you use them. As you begin to communicate it will predict what you are most likely to enter next, and will display several options on screen to make conversation and typing quicker and easier.
* SMS Texting
SMS texting on the SL40 operates in the same way as from a mobile phone, sending and receiving short typed messages to and from any other phone, Lightwriter®, or other device with SMS capability. This offers users an additional mode of communication which may formerly have been impracticable.
* Trainable Remote (environmental control)
The SL40 has a Remote application which uses infrared to operate different devices around the home, for example appliances (such as televisions and stereos), toys, and some home control systems. You can easily programme in up to a maximum of 8 devices. Please note that there are some exceptions which will not work with the SL40, mainly some high specification audiovisual equipment.
* Adjustable Keyboard
There are many ways in which you can adapt the SL40 keyboard to suit individual needs.
• Changing the Keyguard - Each Lightwriter® is shipped with 3 changeable keyguards, which provide optional barriers of varying depths around the edges of the keys. This can help users to improve their typing accuracy.
• Keyboard Layout - The SL40 keyboard setup can be changed to either QWERTY or ABC layouts, depending on user preference.
• Key Settings - The time a key must be pressed for to register and the minimum time between pressing keys can both be adjusted in milliseconds. These will again help each individual to improve their typing accuracy.
