Power Pad is built around Grid 3, Smartbox’s powerful software for
complete access and communication. Grid 3 gives users many ways
to build and speak sentences using text, symbols, powerful prediction
and grammar. Included with Grid 3 are many resources, from
accessible keyboards to symbol based core vocabularies, as well as
tools to access the internet, social media and more.
Grid 3 is fully customisable, from controlling your synthetic voices pitch
and speed, to creating your own resources so you can speak how you
want.
Throughout this manual we use the included Grid 3 software to
configure Power Pad and its settings.
Where appropriate we will also include where settings are found in
Windows 10.
