Genesis AAC devices aim to give more natural voices to people who can’t rely on speech

US‑based PRC‑Saltillo has announced Genesis, a new family of dedicated AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) devices designed for people who can’t rely on natural speech due to conditions such as ALS or cerebral palsy. AAC refers to specialized tools that let users build messages using symbols or words and then speak them aloud through synthesized voices. Genesis continues this approach in a tablet‑style device with robust hardware and preloaded language systems tailored for everyday conversation at home, in school and at work.

The Genesis line focuses on durability and all‑day use, with reinforced casings, extended‑life batteries and mounting options for wheelchairs or desks. Input methods are flexible: users can select icons on the touchscreen, rely on eye‑tracking systems, or operate the device with external switches depending on their motor abilities. PRC‑Saltillo also bundles its vocabulary frameworks and training resources, so both communicators and their support networks can learn how to customize layouts and phrases over time. By offering Genesis as a fully integrated medical‑grade device rather than just an app, the company is positioning it as a dependable communication platform that clinicians, therapists and educators can prescribe and support worldwide.
