Talk Suite is the companion App for Talk Suite (the AAC Speech App). Orbit connects with Talk Suite through Bluetooth and has two powerful functions: TELE-PROMPT Let's you see how someone is using Talk Suite by showing you their iPad screen mirrored on any iPhone (or iPad) that easily connects with Bluetooth. Teachers and teachers and parents can view as buttons get touched and pages change. Then, draw or suggest ideas on your iPhone and those prompts magically appear on the other iPad screen... just like the "telestrator" you see when you watch football games. What an amazing support! And so empowering or all. TELE-TEXT Sends whatever is put into the Talk Suite message window , word by word, onto a nearby iPhone screen that has a simple Bluetooth connection. Even send messages to a whole group of friends and they can all send back to you! The perfect answer to communicating in noisy environments - like restaurants or sports games - when you just can't hear an iPad. Teletext is also good for texting friends in the room when you don't want others to hear!

All processing happens on your device, with no upload to a server. 【Local storage and backups】 Card data is saved within the app on your device and is not automatically uploaded to the cloud. Card backups and sharing are supported.
