Talk Now: An Android App for Non-Verbal Communication
Talk Now is a free Android app developed by Newbury Graphics that enables people with ALS, stroke, MS or similar diseases to communicate with ease. It is also useful for parents of young children who are having trouble speaking. The app comes pre-loaded with common phrases and categories, but users can add their own phrases and categories. The app also allows users to play recorded messages and show images taken with the camera.
One of the app's unique features is the built-in blackboard that enables users to draw words and pictures to aid in their communication. Users can also customize the app by adding picture buttons that speak words or phrases. Picture buttons can be customized to make any sound by recording the user's own voice. The drawing board turns the tablet into a magic slate for show and tell.
Overall, Talk Now is an excellent app that provides non-verbal communication for people with speech difficulties. It is easy to use and has useful features that can be customized. The developers are open to suggestions for additional capabilities.
