MagidForYou is an Alternative Augmented Communication (AAC) application, mainly intended for non-verbal Autistic kids, but can be used by anyone with speech disabilities. The application allows to enter text by clicking on symbols that are organized hierarchically as "communication boards". Clicking on a symbol enters the text and speaks it. MagidForYou can also be used as a keyboard extension. This means you can use it in any other application (for example, your kid can send you a text message using this app as the keyboard). You can choose to connect the application to dropbox, which enables constant backup and other dropbox features (like sharing). The application supports many languages (including right-to-left languages).
