    Needs more skin tones, back button issues

    We have been using this for about 2 years with our son, who is non verbal. It is way better then the PECS system we were using, because he was constantly chewing those up or throwing them away. I also like how customizable it is, I have been able to build in screen shots for all of his tv shows and episodes using the camera. However, I do think it would be a marvelous thing if this app included a more diverse range of skin tone colors on their representations of faces, body parts, etc. All of the generic forms not specific to a known celebrity are apricot colored. My son has beautiful brown skin. Non verbal children are a diverse group, and I think stick figure renderings don&#39;t take up much storage space, and can easily be colored in with more then one shade. I think children tend to feel marginalized when they do not see images that reflect them, and special needs kiddos are already a group at risk for feeling and being marginalized. It is also pretty frustrating that if your kiddo accidentally touches the &#34;back&#34; bar, it repeats every single thing requested since it was last cleared. It can really disrupt and disorient a kiddo with sensory issues. And for my son, who struggles with fine motor, he accidentally bumps it a fair bit. His aim is not always as precise as he would like, but it is getting better all the time... Just not enough to save us from back bar issues. Otherwise we LOVE how this app has improved his quality of life and his ability to tell us what he wants and to feel heard. And despite the monochrome skin tone, there is a decent range of object drawings, etc.

    Strange white line

    I love TouchChat. Use it with many of my students. I find the Engage SS games great for practice. And I love the ability to have multiple sets of different vocabularies on the same device. A good feature to add would be the ability to edit more than one button at a time (like being able to change multiple buttons to the same background color or font). My only complaint is I got a new iPad and when I purchased and downloaded TouchChat there is a strange white line at the bottom of all my communication boards. It is also on the sides of the display bar when I change the color to something other than white. Toggling on/off key guard inset did not help. I have been through every setting on my iPad and TouchChat. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there something I need to do to make it disappear?

    Great app for AAC communication

    TouchChatHD is the first app I try with my nonverbal or limited verbal special education students. It’s very intuitive and helps reduce frustration by assisting navigation for new users. For example, if a person presses the eat button, it automatically (without extra programming) jumps to the food home page to select the food. It has lots of levels for all types of AAC users. My only complaints would be: 1)The vocabulary layout is not consistent across levels so that if a user is ready to progress to a level with more robust vocabulary and buttons, the layout of main buttons changes drastically, which makes the user relearn basic motor patterns. For example the “home” button may move from the bottom corner to the top corner or the “clear button moves from the lower bottom corner to the opposite top corner. 2) The app saves an image of the logo to the device’s camera roll every day the app is used. This is a minor annoyance, but I have never seen another app do this and it gets old deleting the logo every day.

About TouchChat HD- AAC w/ WordPower

4,051 characters

TouchChat is a full-featured Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) solution for individuals who have difficulty using their natural voice. TouchChat is designed for individuals with Autism, Down Syndrome, ALS, apraxia, stroke, or other conditions that affect a person's ability to use natural speech.

TouchChat gives an individual the ability to choose a vocabulary file which consists of pages and buttons that contain words, phrases, sentences, and other functions. Messages are spoken with a built-in voice synthesizer or by playing a recorded message. Various synthesized and custom voice options are available, allowing the user to choose a voice that fits their own personality. This version of TouchChat is bundled with the WordPower® series of AAC vocabularies designed by Nancy Inman. WordPower is a word-based vocabulary that allows for easy and intuitive communication. TouchChat HD with WordPower includes English, Spanish, French, and Mandarin options in a universal app supporting iPhone®, iPod touch® and iPad®. Various vocabulary files are included. Visit our website for a full list of options.

The Upgrade Store provides English vocabularies files (Gateway©, Pixon®60 and Talk About AAC), services, and symbol libraries. Vocabulary files within TouchChat are fully customizable, including pages, grid layout, buttons, messages, and symbols. Select from over 45 button actions and nearly 40,000 Symbolstix® symbols* when creating new buttons. You can also choose to use an existing image or take a photo with the built-in camera. Additionally, gestures can be used to navigate to new pages, speak messages, etc. *Please note: PCS© symbols can only be used in TouchChat after an in-app purchase is completed. Button activation timing can be adjusted to meet the needs and capabilities of the user. Adjustments include button dwell time and button release time. Buttons can also be configured to activate on release.

Additional access methods such as scanning, head tracking, and eye tracking may be available based on device model and may require an additional hardware purchase.

Once programming is complete, vocabulary files can be imported and exported through AirDrop, email, iTunes® file sharing, DropBox™ or Google Drive™. TouchChat also enables users to subscribe to iShare and store custom files for safe keeping (not available to customers residing in the European Union).
