OneTalk Technology Products
Our products are custom made and hand assembled in Australia for each and every client, so there is no limit to what we can create for you.
Our Talking Posters are IP patent protected, and are the only independent communication tool that is guaranteed to leave a controlled message, targeting a specific demographic, in several languages at the press of a button, without relying on a power source.
OneTalk is dedicated to improving communication and social wellbeing for Indigenous Australians who live in regional and remote communities. Communication in remote communities strategically requires tactics that address cultural and customary challenges with kin, skin and clan, as well as the traditional transient nature of Indigenous people. OneTalk tools overcome these challenges and remove communication barriers for generations of people who have low numeracy and literacy, and do not speak English as their first language.
OneTalk assists in preserving Australia’s Indigenous linguistic heritage and supporting multicultural demographics in Australia with effective communication in their first language. OneTalk has extended the communication tool nationally into any language anywhere in the world.
Creating your Talking Product
Each product is broken up into three elements:
1. Production - The production costs are the same, depending on the size / number of audio units.
2. Design - You can choose to provide your own design, or we can engage Sprout Creative to help design your product.
3. Audio - You can provide your own audio files in any language, or we can organise the interpreter and audio recording for you.
See below for more information about the Talking Products and related services that we offer.
Talking Posters
Lightweight and durable, Talking Poster artwork is printed on to 6mm thick material. Spaces for the audio units are routered into the reverse of the poster so the final product sits flush on the wall. Audio is loaded onto each unit via a converter to ensure messages cannot be tampered with. Installation is simply with velcro, double-sided tape or nailed to a wall or notice board.
- Customised design with multiple button options
- Audio can be in any language
Talking Albums
Featuring 200 minutes of recording time across 20 internal pages, each with its own unique play/stop button. Talking albums have an earphone socket for personal listening and are supplied with batteries and a faux leather cover. Messages in a talking album cannot be re-recorded, meaning you can be assured that messages left behind in a community will remain as intended.
- 1 cover plus up to 20 internal pages
- 200 minutes of recording time
Language
The Northern Territory is one of the most linguistically diverse areas in the world. Difficulties involved with communicating with Indigenous and multi-lingual audiences are well documented. As Indigenous languages are traditionally only spoken, it makes sense that audio is the key to bridging the communication gap. The use of professional interpreters ensures an accurate and powerful message.
- Professional interpreters ensure quality message
- High quality audio
- Bridges the communication gap
Illustrations
Illustrations are a culturally sensitive and appropriate way to depict a scene or story. They can be based on photographs so talent permission is not required and accuracy is assured. They also do not date, ensuring longevity of your campaign. OneTalk works with illustrators who can provide diverse illustrative styles from simple line art to detailed caricatures, customised to suit budgets and timeframes.
- Customised
- Culturally Sensitive
- Appealing to all audiences
