Who it suits
A person who can spell and would rather point to letters than pictures, with a helper who writes the letters down.
For the helper: put on their glasses and hearing aids, say the board title out loud, wait while the person points, say the word out loud, and confirm with Yes or No.
Common questions
How do you spell with a letter board?
The person points to letters one at a time and the helper writes them down or says them back, confirming each with Yes or No. Space and Delete are on the board too, so a word can be fixed without starting over.
Which alphabet board should I choose?
Start with A to Z in order, which everyone knows. If pointing is slow, try the board with the most-used letters first, which puts E, T, A, O, I and N at the top.
