Electronic eye pointer powered by rechargeable batteries. Optional uploading of custom abbreviations of up to 260 phrases via computer connection, and alternative colour finishes. Letters are selected by looking at the letter and blinking, then looking at the block which is the same colour as the selected letter. The communication partner or carer presses the appropriate buttons in response and the letter will consequently appear on the screen. A vocabulary facility enables the user to develop abbreviations for commonly used words and phrases.

Speechbubble's description:
Although the MegaBee is not a 'speech-output' communication aid, it's included here as it represents a lower-tech alternative to eye-gaze communication aids such as the Tobii C12. It uses eye movement and blinking as the method to select letters, which are displayed on the integral screen. Letter selection is achieved 'colour encoding': looking at the letter and blinking, then looking at the block which is the same colour as the selected letter. For example the letter 'D' would be selected by looking first at the blue block where the letter K is located and blinking (the enabler then presses the blue button and the 'accept' button), then, as the letter 'D' is red, the user looks at the red block and blinks (the enabler presses the red button and the letter 'D' appears on the screen).
