### 4/5 — Can you remove the picture of Michael plz

*2024-11-24, version 9.0.6*

He looks ugly can you please remove the picture of him please

### 5/5 — great

*2024-02-03, version 9.0.6*

i love soft shelled tacos and my name is michael so this was such a perfect app for me

### 5/5 — Giving dad his voice back

*2019-06-23, version 6.6.2*

I scoured the internet for an app to help my dad communicate despite his aphasia. I am not even sure how I stumbled on this app. It was a little tricky at first getting it set up but I went on a computer and within a few minutes I was happy to be on my way to setting it up. I can make changes remotely and love how my mom and dad can benefit from the changes immediately. I also appreciate a free 30 day trial to see if this continues to be a perfect fit.

### 1/5 — Can not use app

*2018-10-17, version 6.60*

I was referred by my son speech therapist, but app is not allowing me to create an account .

### 5/5 — Fantastic for ICU patients on ventilator!

*2018-04-07, version 6.5.9*

Super-easy and intuitive to create a custom device to communicate needs and emotions.  Using a loved-one’s voice is an added bonus. A fantastic tool for making a horrific time a little better for the patient and family and improving patient care.  -   Catherine Britell, MD

### 5/5 — I can finally talk!!

*2017-10-12, version 6.5.2*

This is a great app! I'm an SLP working in rehab and home care. Not all our patients need or can afford a device that costs thousands. It is easy to use and family can easily learn how to customize it even more after they are trained. Because the app is affordable, it is easy to convince facilities and families to purchase it. I will always remember the first time my patient used it to say "I love you" to her son after years of saying only "Yes,  yes!" Thank you for the wonderful tool!!

### 5/5 — A MUST!!!!!

*2016-04-28, version 6.2.7*

Amazing program! I am an AT Specialist and this program is amazing. It can obviously be used as a communication tool, but can also be customized for anything, including choice boards, IEP goals, schedules, and anything else you can imagine. 
The customer service for this app is also second to none. I have asked questions and the response is lightning quick. They are patient and kind when responding. And the fact that the program uses the cloud to back up the data is so much easier and well thought out than using another program that uses Dropbox. You simply put in your user name and password and your data is there. I cannot recommend this highly enough for those who work with special Ed students or those with disabilities. Also in my opinion the workspace is totally worth the money. It makes it so much easier to program the students devices using workspace. 
Once again this is amazing product and I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — My Talk Tools Lite

*2015-04-22, version 5.0.0*

I am a speech therapist using this app with my adult patients and I have found it an excellent tool to serve as an assistive communication device or as visual support for verbal communication. It is easy to set up and edit and makes use of your own photos, internet searches or icons and recorded speech or text-to-speech. I have found it easy to teach to family members and patients themselves. The technical support is excellent and my questions have been answered quickly and helpfully. I have used the workspace to set up boards for my patients which has been extremely useful.

### 5/5 — Revolutionizes my classroom

*2015-03-17, version 5.0.0*

I cannot say enough good things about this app. It has opened doors in the communication realm for my students with significant disabilities.  It not only gives my students a voice they didn't have before, but engages them in learning. This app is easy to use and has countless customization options.  Customer service is amazing.  Any issue I've ever had has been swiftly resolved by their wonderful staff.

### 4/5 — Great

*2013-04-06, version 4.0.0*

This is a very good communication tool which has a wide application for both assessment and as an augmentative communication aid. It's really good for both individuals on the Autistic spectrum and those with learning disabilities. I would definitely recommend this product especially at the current price
