Updates to ensure support for latest iOS versions.

January 27, 2020

New feature: Keyboard Input Mode! Alternatively to using symbols to form sentences, manually enter words using a keyboard. Switch easily between symbol based input and keyboard input. This update also includes improvements to the sentence bar. Text is now more clearly displayed.

New Feature: Board Levels! Board levels provide a way to progressively build up a user's vocabulary. A limited number of Tiles/words on a board can be displayed at different levels, without the grid size changing. The words therefore remain in the same position between levels, allowing end users to remember and learn the positions. Levels can be set up in such a way that users are initially introduced to a smaller set of words and then as they become more comfortable with the app slowly build up to higher levels where more words are displayed. This update also includes some extra improvements: - Maximum possible grid size increased from 8x8 to 16x16. - Double-tap the delete button in the sentence builder to clear the whole sentence.

You ask, we listen! Two new features requested by our users: - The ability to lock controls, e.g. editing. Like a parental control, setup and create your boards and then lock any editing capabilities before passing the app to your end user. - Copy/paste feature for tiles. Before you could only copy a whole board, now you can copy individual tiles. Find the corresponding controls/button in the bottom left of the toolbar in the edit tile screen. We would also like to introduce our new website: www.chatterboards-aac.com

New feature: Profiles! Create and manage profiles for different users, each with their own boards and settings (e.g. default voice settings). Ideal for households with multiple users, or specialists with multiple clients! We also keep the app up to date with the latest iOS changes, guaranteeing support for the latest versions.

We are pleased to introduce the first major update to ChatterBoards. Users can now create fully customisable vocabulary boards. Create simple or complex vocabulary sets to use in forming sentences to communicate. Other extra features as part of this update include: - Boards on the home screen are now displayed as buttons (as opposed to a table/list), allowing images to be associated with them for easier recognition and access. - Greatly improved storage and image optimisation, leading to better memory usage while also fixing some bugs. - Ability to change button border colors. - The color picker now includes tabs for tracking recently used colors, as well as providing some sample flat colors. - Unlocked the ability to utilise the latest iOS text-to-speech voices. For instance each English dialect now contains a number of different voices (male and female). - Ability to remove the image from a button, allowing for text only buttons. - Ability to change the default language/voice to use for all buttons (as well as the existing rate, pitch and volume settings). - Added over 3500 Mulberry AAC symbols. - Number of general bug fixes and improvements.
