UnusualCommunicationApps

Jennifer MacDonald-Peltier shows us what she likes and does not like about some of the more creative AAC apps such as EZSpeech, TalkRocket, TalkforMe, Expressionist, Locabulary, Fat Cat Pirate Chat, and Fuctional Communication System Lite. (The recording starts a bit abruptly with EZSpeech.)

[Jennifer] TalkRocket has some interesting features.

It's organized a little bit differently than most ones.

So this is the home screen and you'll see you have folders that are darker blue

and have dots

that let you know that you can go to something else

They also have ones that are lighter blue that

will just speak.

You can add pictures to each of them

and you can customize these in many ways.

So, let me go ahead and go to "Conversation."

So here's Conversation. When I tap on the topic

the folder header appears up here

and if I go to another topic.... so for example

Hello, it's right there.

Now, if I tap on one of these folder headers, it will talk.

"Hello." is what it's saying.

"Conversation" is what it's saying.

If I tap on any of these light blue ones, it will speak that as well.

I'll get down close so you can hear the voice.

"Good morning."
