Speech-technology company DynaVox Inc. and two affiliates have filed for chapter 11 protection in a bid to put the brakes on a move by secured lenders, the Wall Street Journal reported today. The company is grappling with restructuring its assets and debts estimated at between $10 million and $50 million. A supplier of systems and software to help people with speech, language and learning challenges, DynaVox warned shareholders last year it was under pressure to pay off debts.
