What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 7, 2026
The Accent is a dedicated AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) device, a speech-generating tablet that lets someone communicate through symbols, words, and typing. It runs on Windows and supports several ways of selecting, including eye tracking and switch access, so it can be matched to how a person can physically use it. The glass is thicker and impact-resistant, the body resists splashes and dust, and the handle is stronger. It can also act as a keyboard and mouse for a connected computer, or work as a standalone computer. The communication software, such as NuVoice, is customized to the person, so plan on professional help to choose and set it up.

What setup looks like
- Out of the box
Charge the device and power it on to see the Windows desktop and the installed communication software. - With a guide
- Load or build the person's vocabulary and page layouts in the communication software, adding personal words and phrases as you go.
- Plan on several sessions to adjust the layout and practice, since the right vocabulary builds up over time. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- A speech-language pathologist (SLP) or AAC specialist should assess which access method fits the person, such as touch, eye tracking, or a switch, and which software and vocabulary approach to use. Expect an evaluation plus ongoing fine-tuning over weeks.
- Eye tracking or switch access needs to be positioned and calibrated for the individual. An OT or ATP often helps with mounting and seating. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
