Description

Click on link at bottom of this page to view recent feature on Newsround

The cre8txt keyboard mimics a mobile phone text keypad and so captures the skill that nearly all of our young people have taught themselves and turns that into a benefit you can use in the classroom. The keyboard also comes with word prediction software, the same sort of assistance that young people are used to when composing messages on their mobile phones.

Features

SMS Text translation software that automatically converts 'text speak' into full words and phrases,
Word, phrase and sentence prediction software interfaces between the cre8txt keyboard and the application the pupil is writing within to speed up text capture,
Compact and robust keyboard,
10 Alpha/Numeric rubberised keys, with menu, enter, arrow, copy/cut, paste and undo functionality,
Multi-tap or predictive text entry modes, with fully customisable keyboard reaction times,
Compatible with any application that requires text input from word processing to e-mail, web browsing and mind mapping,
Supplied complete with an activation code for a downloadable single computer licence for the text translation/predictive software, and long USB cable (no batteries required).

Benefits

Measuring just 98 x 50 x 15mm, the keyboard fits neatly in the palm of the hand, making it easy and unobtrusive to use,
All common computer functions and text entry can be achieved via the cre8txt 24 key keyboard,
Flexible text entry modes fit with the preference of the pupil,
The highly accurate and intuitive predictive writing feature helps pupils to focus on content of their writing rather than the process of text capture,
98% of pupils own a mobile phone and so the SMS 'text speak' translation feature motivates pupils who are used to this language, and helps develop formal composition skills,
The keyboard can be used to empower reluctant writers in all areas of the curriculum by providing a common, familiar and highly portable writing interface to all educational applications that require a text input.
