ECOpoint is an eye controlled interface for the ECO-14, Prentke Romich Company’s (PRC), premier speech generating device. ECOpoint uses a gaze based system, giving the user full control of all aspects of the ECO including communication, environmental control, and computer functions for email, internet, word processing, and control of third-party programs.

{| class="features"

|-
| class="featuretitle" | Target users
| ECOpoint is designed for persons with disabilities when direct selection or head tracking may be difficult. Individuals with (but not limited too) ALS, Multiple sclerosis, Rhett Syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury, Cerebral Palsy, and Spinal Cord injuries could consider the ECOpoint as a option to meet their daily communication, language, and computing needs.
|-
| class="featuretitle" | What is required from the user
| ECOpoint has the largest “EYEBOX” in the industry measured at 10” x 15” x 8". This large volume accommodates users with a great deal of head and body movement without having to limit their range of motion to operate the system. Designed for ultimate reliability and convenience, ECOpoint “remembers” the user, so if you move in and out of the “EYEBOX” there is no need to recalibrate the system.
|-

| Once the system is turned on, the user can independently access all features for system setup, calibration, and preferences.
