Expectations
Sometimes learning to speak with an electrolarynx device is not easy. Think of
it as learning to play a musical instrument. It will take time, practice, and
patience.
In some cases, talking can be achieved in a month, in other cases it can take
only 3 days.

The Inspiration can be configured to work in different modes which will be
presented later. However, the daily usage is reduced to 3 simple
functionalities:
Speak & change the pitch while talking by sliding on the touch panel.
Touch the panel to start the sound and slide on to change the pitch.
Release to stop the sound.
Quickly raise or lower the volume level. To do so first touch the slider then
hold the setting button. This will start the sound and let you hear the
current volume. Sliding to the top will raise the volume, sliding down will
lower the volume. Release the settings button to confirm the desired
volume.
You can check the battery discharge level and the current intonational
mode. Press and hold the settings button only.
For 2 seconds the LED bar will show the remining capacity if the battery. If all
8 LED lights are on then the battery is fully charged, if less than 2 are on the
battery is about to run out and has to be recharged soon. A red light at the
bottom of the slider will turn on.
Then for a second all LEDs will go OFF and for an other second only one LED
will lite, corresponding to the number of current intonation mode.
