AcapelaMOV is an additional application available with the My-Own-Voice service that allows you to test your personalised digital voice (rather than the standard Acapela voices) just created on a specific offline device. After creating your digital voice a confirmation notification will be sent by e-mail. You can then retrieve and test the voice. You will need to use your My-Own-Voice credentials for this. Once the digital voice is installed, it will be accessible, free of charge, for 3 months. After the test period, you can re activate/re download your digital voice if you purchased/subscribed to the service or if the service was subsidised and ordered by an organisation. AcapelaMOV is not an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) application, but rather a basic tool that can be used to listen to your digital voice.
