"[Esteemed NZ musician Chris Knox] had a stroke last year. I bought Chris an iPad specifically because of your AutoVerbal app. I try to get him to use it when he is having trouble expressing what he is trying to get across as he has almost no speech. There is potential for this to be a long term major tool to help him. Thanks again, you are doing good work."

So far her remaining big limitation is her ability to speak. She does some sign language and I assumed that this program would allow us to customize all of the pictures..... Example, Toilet = Potty A picture of her = I Maybe in a few years by typing sentences it will be great......but for a young child it’s inadequate unless you can allow more customization. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and wont allow an refund *2017-12-01, version 10.0* I tried uninstalling and all and nothing works, I was only going to use it for a few days but now it doesn’t have a use ### 5/5 — Useful app *2015-12-12, version 8.0* Female and UK male voice is fast. ### 1/5 — Very SLOW. *2015-12-11, version 8.0* I am just recently a mute and have been looking for an app to speak for me when shopping, visiting, working, etc. Even on my fastest device, an iPhone 6+, the custom responses are so slow to begin speaking that people try to see on my iPhone what words or phrases I have selected. I am often much better off with my Boogie Board. This app is much too expensive for what little benefit it provides. I do not recommend it ### 5/5 — My daughter has CP and she loves it *2011-06-12, version 4.0* I had to handle the purchase of this app delicatlly. I bought the app for my Ipad learned how to use it and then showed my daughter as I set up her Ipad. II did not suggest it as it might have seemed pushy to her. When I asked what apps she would like after looking at a few she asked for the "Word Game," what I call the Auto Verbal Pro. She has a Dynavox but won't use it as I think it is for "handicapped" people. When I left her house today she and her staff were busy working on using it. She likes it and I think that she is the best judge for this type of app. It is very simple and the pictures are very colorful and can be enlarged. There is a female and a male voice choice. I look forward to updates as the words are pronounced phonically and not as written. For instance the word bandaid did not sound right. Good job. ### 2/5 — Needs work and has potential *2010-10-15, version 0* It's interesting because I just looked down to see exactly what I was thinking. It would be awesome to have a way to customize the pics. I have a non verbal son with autism. He is really picture dependent. I think with adding pics with more meaning would be a little more understandable to my son. Another thing worth mentioning.... If there was some way that the response time could be slowed. My son would let it repeat the same thing over and over.... Ie: I keyed in my name is x..... Ithe ap will same my name is may name is.. I'm sure I could redirect him but I think it would give him a better understanding of the real purpose and this is not a "stim" toy. All that would get 5 stars :) ### 3/5 — Needs more flexibility for kids to use *2010-10-08, version 0* This is a nice app to use with nonverbal people but was clearly developed for adult use. I am a speech pathologist working with young children with ASD/autism and apraxia. It would be great if I could import my own pictures for the top "customizable"row. I would also like to be able to select which icons are presented and add more kid-appropriate vocabulary. ### 1/5 — auto verbal pro *2010-08-13, version 0* Not happy with this application. I bought the application while at the mac store so I could try it out for my mom who has a speech problem. I did not function well for her. When I tried to download it on my computer when I got home the programer pulled it and I was never able to install it and try it again. Can't even get a refund! ### 2/5 — Odd vocabulary *2010-07-11, version 0* I bought this app for my father because he is suffering from aphasia after a stroke. After using this app for the evening, here are my impressions: The icon/word choices are a bit odd. It would be helpful if it had more day-to-day choices instead of words like gorilla, tiger, zoo, etc. More customizability would help a whole lot in that regard, too. Perhaps each icon could have a customizable meaning, and you could choose from a large bank of icons for custom additions. Anyways, the Internet voices are nice and clear, and the type-to-speak functionality works well. Overall, I'd say it will be useful for my dad in some limited cases, but with a few changes it could be made a whole lot better. ### 5/5 — Great but here are a few ideas *2010-06-27, version 0* - Nice images but the ones with words are a bit confusing with the background. Make it a clear, easy to read button. - Separate catergories even further so you don't see so many at once. Maybe even have an initial phrase like 'I want to eat' and then have the choices of food. - Have a choice of making buttons even bigger. Fewer choices is sometimes better. Also being able to choose the order they are displayed would be good since for example there are foods my son would never choose so they would go last on the list. Great program. Thanks for putting it out there. ## Frequently asked questions about AutoVERBAL PRO Text ### What is AutoVERBAL PRO?
