Here's my new upgraded Speech Synthesis Device model I-15.

http://www.tobiidynavox.com/iseriesplus/#top (Scroll down to the I-15)

The sales representative, Nuala South, had estimated 15 minutes for setup but it turned out to be 4 hours! It's Windows 10 OS and I think it's robust enough to run BIAB.

@Joanne Cooper, we tested it in the gazebo and were able to get WIFI, which we couldn't with my older model.

Colo(u)r me elated (but please stay within the lines).

I tried to pin her down as far as cost to VA and she said $8000.00. I don't know where I'd be without the Veterans' Administration. They have been wonderful to me.

Jo, the Ms Spelling was for the benefit of my many Canuck and SA friends, eh?

Nuala and I nearly froze while testing in the gazebo and it's forecast to be even colder today so I'll likely stay indoors and tweak my new voice and load BIAB. It's only 44F now and windy.

Wouldn't it be awesome if I can run BIAB in the gazebo, my favo(u)ite place on the planet?

I can also control it with eye-tracking.

I still have some dexterity but eye-tracking is an unfortunate eventuality. I'm ready.

Don,

How nice to hear from you again! smile

Our (USA) Veteran's Administration has been rightfully bashed in the press and by Congress the last few years. It is nice to read that sometimes they do get it right.

I consider myself very fortunate to receive my healthcare through the VA. All in all I have few complaints about the quality of service I've received.

This is actually my 4th upgrade and I haven't even mentioned my Lamborghini ride. I have a totally awesome power wheelchair. Probably 2,000 Loonies. Interesting story - When told that I didn't qualify for such an expensive wheelchair, my tiny, 80 pound Physical Therapist simply waltzed into the showroom and drove off with it.

My veteran's advocate then boosted me to a higher eligibility to qualify me for the wheelchair.

Congratulations Don! That's really terrific news. You're an inspiration to all of us on the forum. It seems to me that you seriously know how to take the word "impossible" and turn it into "I'm possible"!

All the best,
Noel

Great news Donny.

I also use the VA and have zero issues with them. In fact a good friend who's a retired doctor also uses the West LA VA and I asked him some years ago why he goes there and not private because he certainly can afford it. His answer? The best doctors all work at the VA. I don't know about all VA's but the LA one is right across the freeway from the UCLA Med Center and a lot of the VA doc's wear UCLA lab coats and id's. And the majority are cute young ladies. You have to be a genius with perfect scores to get into med school regardless of gender so I don't care about that but it sure is different from 30 years ago especially when you're there for a full body derm exam...

My only issue with them is not me personally, it's all the young vets who are there now. They do not get lifetime access that us older guys got. Even with service connected injuries most get 5 years of access and that's it. I'm sure the more severe cases get more than that but still, for my era all you needed was to be in the service during wartime, it didn't matter if you were actually assigned to the war zone or not.
