Speak up with symbol-based AAC
Not being able to speak isn’t the same as having nothing to say. Children, teens and
adults who can’t speak can use this Augmentative and Alternative Communication
(AAC) app for iOS as a daily communication tool and to build language skills. From the
first time someone opens the app, a few taps are all it takes to start talking to the world.

The LAMP Words for Life language system was modified to assist communicators with
visual impairments:
A set of high-contrast Minspeak icons with less detail and fewer colors were set on a black
background.
Some motor patterns were simplified.
Words learned at the one-hit level become double hits on the same button to eliminate the need for
tactile search.
Since the corners provide a good reference point, they were left blank to be utilized for customization
of favorite people, places and things.
A Tactile KeyGuide with raised cues to reference locations was developed for the Accent 1000.
