Josh and Ella were custom-designed in a collaboration between AssistiveWare and Acapela Group and are optimized for the communication needs of children.

Josh and Ella can be downloaded for free from the Speech section of the Proloquo2Go Options.

Version 2.0.2 addresses three issues with the update process of version 1.x vocabularies to version 2.

Version 2.0.2 of course also contains all the other changes that were recently introduced in version 2.0:

An analysis of commonly used sentences has shown that the new Core Word vocabulary reduces the number of steps to build a sentence by more than 30%, when compared to the previous version of Proloquo2Go.

In addition, Proloquo2Go now supports multiple users on the same device, providing improved ease of use for therapists and teachers supporting multiple clients.

Proloquo2Go’s symbol library has been updated to include the full SymbolStix catalog of 14,000 symbols, up from 7,000 symbols in our previous release.

Not only do we now have an Australian male voice, British children voices, but we also have several fun Acapela voices including Queen Elizabeth, Micah (a Texas cowboy), Saul (a hip-hop voice), and character voices such as Will-BadGuy and Will-LittleCreature.
