Who Can Use MessageMate?
MessageMate can be used by a wide variety of users from the profoundly impaired to the highest functioning communicators . The typical AAC environment is a rigorous one, and MessageMate is certainly up to the challenge. Its functional, lightweight design makes it ideal for virtually any environment, including the playground, school functions, or dinner with friends. The device is extremely popular with school-age children, who use it to communicate with teachers and classmates.

Functionality at Its Best
Because everyone’s needs are unique, there are four different MessageMate models to choose from: Multi-Level MessageMate 40, MessageMate 40, MessageMate 20, and Mini-MessageMate. Each model is available with a variety of recording times and comes with a comprehensive user’s manual, an AC adapter, and a long-lasting rechargeable battery.

New Message Builder Feature
Speak clear, concise messages quickly and efficiently with our new Message Builder feature. Specially designed for use with MessageMate 40 and Multi-Level MessageMate 40, Message Builder allows the user to select words or phrases from several prerecorded buttons and combine them together to create a single message. Simply turn on the Message Builder feature and build your message. Then press the Speak key to say your message, the Repeat key to repeat the last sentence spoken, the Clear key to erase the entire message, or the Back key to erase the last entry.

Keyboard or Switch Operation
Each MessageMate features membrane keys for a light touch, with an optional stiffener for a heavier touch. Keys are easy to access and can be combined to make larger keys. Four different accept times help eliminate accidental key selections. MessageMate 20 and 40 models are also switch accessible and feature fully adjustable scan rates. Mini-MessageMate has individual switch inputs for each key.

Voice
MessageMate features the highest quality recording available. Record any voice - male, female, child, or adult - in any language. Or record any sound, such as a dog barking or a whistle blowing. The volume is fully adjustable, so users feel comfortable communicating in a variety of social situations, from private conversations to noisy parties. And programming MessageMate is simple and intuitive. Simply record your message and it’s ready to communicate anytime, anywhere.
