Advanced Interface
It has the 150 core words recommended by most speech pathologist and another 620 fringe words to help with meaningful sentence construction. Form a sentence by touching the appropriate pictures. Over 770 pictures in this section alone which are organized in 26 categories like action words, family and friends, food, shapes etc to name a few. All pictures/text are placed alphabetically in each category. We also made it convenient to learn day, month, year, shape and colors. For example, a teacher or parent can sit down with the device and ask what day it is. The individual will go to the Day category and touch the "Today is" picture then "Monday". We also have "Yesterday was" and "Tomorrow will be" pic. At each learning session, present,future and past situations should be discussed.
If you dont want to pick pictures to form a sentence, no problem,you can type. First buy a high quality voice engine powered by Acapela. There are over 79 HQ voice engines to choose from. Check out some samples in My Audios. We also included some fun voice engines like Queen Elizabeth, Will (little creatures), Will(scary guy), Saul (hip hop ), Micah (Texas cowboy) and Will (upclose). Pick a engine, type a sentence and press the green speak button. You can modify voice speed and voice shaping. Voice engines say the darndest things sometimes so we also included a pronunciation word replacement system.
If English is not your native language, you can completely customize text and voice in any language supported by your apple device. The latest iPhone/iPad supports 57 different types of keyboards (From Cherokee to Vietnamese). Enter any language text and record a voice and now you have a complete AAC solution in your language.
My Tasks
This section has 5 categories. School, Home, Notes, My points, Reward Center. Home and school has a itemized daily schedule to help the individual stay on task and motivated. When a entry is check, points are added to the weekly total. When a threshold is reached the individual can get a reward.
Notes is a communication tool between the teacher and parent. If there are any new notes, a counter with the number of new notes will be shown.
My Points shows the number of points accumulated so far and lets the user know whether the reward threshold is reached.
The Reward center allows the parent or guardian to raise or lower the threshold and change the gift. There is also 2 reports generated each week. The goal is to see the points rise every week when unacceptable behavior is taken out of their repertoire.
My Videos and My Audios
These two categories are used to help view or listen to unique content generated by you. Like tying a shoe lace, buttoning/unbuttoning a shirt or holding a pencil properly.
