What is an E-Tran Board?
An E-tran board is a special communication system which enables people to select letters with their eyes. (E-tran stands for "Eye Transfer".)
This particular E-Tran is based on a design by Amy Roman, SLP-CCC. It is designed to be simpler, easier to learn and more efficient than conventional E-tran boards.

Who Is the E-Tran For?
The E-Tran board is for individuals with:
- Very limited movement
- The ability to spell
- Intentional (volitional) eye movements.
How Does It Work?
For an explanation of how the E-Tran board works, please see video (on "Product Videos" tab)
The E-Tran Board can be used in two different ways:
- DIRECT METHOD
Letters are selected using one to two eye movements. (Fastest and most efficient way.) - SCANNING
Simpler and easier, but a little slower than the direct method
Design Features
- Alphabetical layout makes it easier to learn than a conventional E-tran board.
- High frequency letters (A, E, I, O, T) are selected with a single glance. (All other letters are selected with 2 glances.)
