Hi Emily, I have used the zoom dongle a couple of times with patients in combination with the grid2, and so far it worked reliably. Not a huge sample though!

The website says its only available for pay monthly phones not pay as you go yet. Theres an app for android phones, windows phones and iphones. I guess if one phone company has it then the other networks will probably have something similar too.

(I believe the only way to do it on iOS is using cydia..). Now if you have a Mac there is iMessage on the desktop which is decent (and applescriptable)..- but that only allows you to text other iOS users.. (As an aside (its not really a solution!) I saw a demo of someones PC using text-to-speech to operate Siri to send a text message! Apparently it is possible to hack a Apple headphone set which has a siri button built-in but not sure how reliable that could be..) On a somewhat similar topic - Tobii Communicator supposedly allows texting to Bluetooth phones that support the MAP protocol - but yet to get it working. Anyone had any luck with it? With a MAP ready bluetooth card/dongle and communicator it seems as though you should be able to get most modern phones to work with it.. but all a little hazy as to how.

The only option coming up at the moment is the Zoom Tri band USB modem, I am just wondering if anyone has any experiences of using this? Is this reliable? Or if anyone else has some ideas? > NB: Bluetooth is not an option as it is an iphone to windows laptop. > > Many thanks, > > > Emilia Leech > > Pre-reg Clinical Scientist > > > Chailey Heritage Clinical Services (CHCS) > > Rehabilitation Engineering Service (RES) > > Beggars Wood Road > > North Chailey > > Nr Lewes > > East Sussex > > BN8 4JN > > > Tel: 01825 722112 Ext 7797 > > Email: [log in to unmask] > > > ********************************************************************** > ********************************************** > > This message may contain confidential information.
