Description
Attainment has been making augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools for 25 years. Our experience is front and center in GoTalk NOW, a flexible, easy-to-use, yet powerful app for people who have difficulty speaking.
NOW combines the simplicity of GoTalks (Attainment’s popular static AAC device) with the dynamic capabilities of an iPad. GoTalk NOW has all the essentials of an effective AAC app, like adjustable page layouts, customizable navigation, recorded and text-to-speech capabilities, and an included symbol set. But we sweated the details to create unique and compelling features that clearly separate the NOW from other AAC apps.
Imagine creating as many communication books as you need, each with unique settings
and unlimited pages. Then
share these books with other users via WiFi, and back them up for safekeeping via Dropbox or any Mac/PC. Envision the
impact of blending video, music, and jump to actions among your pages. How cool is it to have your own private online
galley to store and save your templates (up to five communication pages) for free, and to email these templates to
parents and colleagues! Plus, GoTalk NOW is a full-feature scanning app!
