How are the speakers different/better than other systems?

The positioning and size of the speakers are important considerations for speech generating devices. Consumer tablets are generally designed with watching media in mind; they project sound towards yourself. This is important when listening to music or watching films. Speech generating devices are designed to project sound towards the person you are speaking to. The speakers on the Indi are positioned specifically to project sound away from the individual using it to communicate, and towards the person they are communicating with. The speakers are also very large, to allow a high quality and high volume sound. This allows the user to be heard in noisy environments.
