We find your solution

Many people have barriers that make it difficult for them to communicate or to shape their lives independently and actively. Achieving something alone – that all too often remains a fervent wish. Being able to listen to music and stories independently, and above all, being able to select and decide, is a tremendous achievement that brings a piece of quality of life back to the affected individuals and their relatives. There are many different handicaps that need to be compensated for as best as possible. With our products, we offer you well-thought-out solutions for many special requirements or find the right solution for your needs and wishes or those of the disabled person in your midst.

What our customers say

Hello dear Hörbert Team,

My nephew has a disability, and at first, I was concerned whether he could operate the player at his age of 6. But after almost 2 weeks of just pressing buttons without listening to anything – out of sheer excitement that HE can achieve something on his own, he is now incredibly adept at navigating his player.

Since I don’t want to change the order, I have assigned all pre-recorded audio plays to one button and distributed all other CDs he has in a logical order on the other buttons. My nephew is a disabled child and doesn’t understand if the bird wedding doesn’t play first on the green button.

I would like to sincerely thank you, because this player is really the best there is – at least for my nephew. ​

Music as the Key to Well-being

Many scientific studies and projects confirm the fact that music very often has a therapeutic effect and unfolds self-esteem, courage, motivation, and zest for life. For children, adolescents, or adults with a disability or behavioral disorder, the right music can have extremely positive effects, help reduce stress, provide relaxation, and reduce overstimulation. Listening to, singing, and participating in music positively affects our emotions and strengthens self-awareness and self-expression.

Intuitive and analogue operation of our products

We are a strong team with technical know-how and many years of development work that have already been incorporated into our products. The goal: to build bridges between people, technology, and the ability to independently listen to music and stories. Nevertheless, we leave no stone unturned in addressing very specific needs.

The operation of our products is intuitive and analog. There is no display; navigation through the content is done by pressing a button.
Through custom adaptations for connecting external control buttons, such as so-called “Jelly Buttons,” our products can also be used by people who can manage only a single button press with their hand, elbow, chin, or foot.

 

The configuration and setting of all functions are quick and easy via the Browser Set Mode – a user interface in a web browser that can be accessed with a Wi-Fi-enabled device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Intuitive und analoge Bedienung unserer Produkte

Wir sind ein starkes Team mit technischem Knowhow und vielen Jahren an Entwicklungsarbeit, die bereits in unsere Produkte geflossen ist. Das Ziel: Brücken zu bauen zwischen Menschen, der Technik und der Fähigkeit, selbstbestimmt Musik und Geschichten zu hören. Dennoch lassen wir nichts unversucht, auch auf ganz spezielle Bedürfnisse einzugehen.

Die Bedienung unserer Produkte ist intuitiv und analog. Es gibt kein Display, die Navigation durch die Inhalte erfolgt per Knopfdruck.
Durch Sonderanfertigungen für den Anschluss externer Bedientaster, z.B. sogenannter „Jelly Buttons“, können unsere Produkte auch von Menschen genutzt werden, die nur noch einen Tastendruck mit Hand, Ellbogen, Kinn oder Fuß schaffen.

 

Die Konfiguration und Einstellung aller Funktionen erfolgt schnell und einfach über den Browser Set Mode – eine Nutzeroberfläche in einem Webbrowser auf die man mit einem WLAN-fähigen Endgerät, wie Smartphone, Tablet oder Computer, gelangt.

Supported communication with hörbert

Additionally, our products offer the possibility to assign voice commands, words, or sentences to the colorful buttons, thanks to the integrated speech microphone. This allows people who cannot use their voice or speech to communicate with their environment at the push of a button.

Individual audio content

The available audio content of our memory card editions is carefully curated and already offers the right choice for many needs and life situations. However, it is of course also possible to transfer completely individual content tailored to the respective person via the Browser Set Mode on a smartphone/tablet or by copying in the computer’s file manager onto the memory card.

Additionally, there is a Bluetooth streaming function, so that Spotify playlists can be played if desired or other streaming services can be used, or hörbert can also be listened to with wireless headphones.

With hörbert, you can listen to internet radio over Wi-Fi, offering unlimited audio content and constantly new listening material, without relatives or care staff needing to get involved to provide new content.
