AAC speech communicator

一个聪明的象形为基础的语音通信装置，用于语言障碍的人。

A generic, easy-to-learn communication tool for anyone with speech disabilities, which forms grammatically correct sentences when a series of pictograms are clicked and then speaks them aloud (text-to-speech). Because of the pictograms, this tool is especially good for children or those who have limited reading and writing abilities.

It is different from most existing products by being free and by its natural language generation with features such as inflection, tenses, using the user's gender (via settings) to alter the first-person sentences and more.

Also, my friends have found using this application to be a fun way to learn basics of new language. :)

The application includes 1000+ icons, categorised and accessible through search. It supports French pretty well, and there is a prototype for English.

Other features include:

* recent pictograms (each category has a tab listing most recently used ones)

* icons tagged with the 6 SPC colors (actions, names, descriptives etc.) for easier identification

* option to display text in capital letters

* option to softly speak each individual word when icon is pressed

* compatibility with both tablets and mobile phones

INSTALLATION:

* Make sure you have a text-to-speech engine properly installed (depending on your device, go to “Settings –> Language & Input-> Text-to-Speech output”, or to “Settings->Install voice data” or alike).

* To use French or English you have to set your phone/tablet language to the one you wish to use (go to your phone settings)
