GS-MSS Manual	Gus! Multimedia Speech System Dynamic display AAC software Includes all of the following (click any item to expand): • Main Program: Multimedia Speech Don't be fooled by the simple appearance of the opening screen! From here, the user can move between an unlimited number of pages of pre-programmed words and phrases. This type of selection method for speech software is known as a "dynamic display communication system." Each page can have between 2 - 72 choices! For example, create a square (we call them "sound buttons") called "Greetings" and it will open to a page of phrases like, "hello", "nice to see you" etc. If you want to talk about the weather, create a page of sound buttons that contains weather related phrases. It is that simple. And there is NO limit to the number of pages you can add. • Gus! Talking Keyboard The Gus! Talking Keyboard is a text-to-speech program that combines an on-screen keyboard with an exceptionally clear synthetic voice. Type (or scan) whatever you want to say and it will verbalize it for you. Predicts current AND next word to accelerate text entry (based on frequency of use). Includes abbreviation expansion (e.g. "gm"="good morning") to provide further assistance, spelling checker and built-in 1 and 2 switch scanning access. This is the program that Dr. Howard Hornstein with ALS used to communicate with during his "60 Minutes" interview on CBS. • Gus! Easy Talk Gus!
