Awesome
Been using this app for my nonverbal & apraxic kids at work. Thank u for making it free! I do wish the voice & vocabulary were in American English though because my kids get confused when they hear “crisps” for fries. Please add a keyboard so my kids can type words that aren’t in the database? Thank you! All in all great app!

Free and useful
This deserves a lot higher and more ratings than it has, it’s a free alternate to over options that could cost upwards of 250$

Incredible for a free AAC app, nice layout and speaks!
I've downloaded many AAC apps and am really impressed with how these are laid out. There are three layouts you can see in the sample pages above. Going from page to page is clear and intuitive in the 2 symbol talkers, and the text one has good word prediction and a good selection of phrases. These compare with the more expensive AAC apps except that you can't modify them unless you buy the computer software. Thank you so much for making these free. I will be recommending these in my workshops.
