Review: “This is Proloquo4Text, an a
ugmentative-and-alternative communication (AAC) program for Apple devices. It does only text, unlike Proloquo2Go, and stays on a single page. It has word prediction, sentence prediction, and a side panel of pre-written words and sentences. It’s cheaper than Proloquo2Go. You might be interested in this if you need AAC with good word prediction and high-quality voices, but not have to pay for picture symbols you’re never going to use. The colours and fonts are customisable. I’m using it for my word-based communication, and Proloquo2Go for my picture-based communication, because it has always been hard for me to switch between picture and word modes on Proloquo2Go (a cognitive problem, not a fault of the program).”

Review: “A text-to-speech app for alternative communication. The app is text-based, and includes word prediction and sentence prediction. These two features allow much faster communication through the keyboard than simply typing all the words and sentences. The app includes a choice of 85 voices and 15 languages. It is easy to switch languages, so a bilingual user can easily communicate in both languages. Messages can be delivered auditorily or through AirDrop, Twitter, Facebook, email and messaging. Because it is text-based, this tool would be extremely useful for children and adults who are literate, including those with diagnoses of autism, cerebral palsy, developmental disabilities, apraxia, ALS/MND, laryngectomy, stroke, or traumatic brain injury."

Review: “You can adjust the screen layout, and the way you interact according to the user needs (size, font and colour of text, type of prediction, options to show on-screen, etc).”
