Jellow AAC Communicator vs Linggo Coach

Jellow Communicator is a friendly Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) system that uses icons/images to enable speech. This freely downloadable app can be used for communication by those learning to speak or those having difficulty with speech. Jellow can also be used by toddlers and early learners to learn words and categories frequently used in their daily lives. Jellow’s colorful and friendly icons can help children develop an association between pictures and their corresponding word labels. By Using Make My Board(My Boards), you can add or edit your own customized icons and their expressive text. Jellow has a simple, visually appealing, and easy-to-learn interface consisting central 'category' buttons and 'expressive' side buttons. The content of the app is organized into basic category buttons that make it easy for the user to access and find desired icons. The user can make the app speak out sentences by simply clicking on any of the category buttons followed by any of the expressive buttons. Jellow has around 1000 icons and over 10,000 lines of pre-programmed text. In addition, using the 'keyboard' feature, the user can also generate new sentences and use the app to speak them out aloud. The app allows the user to choose from multiple accents American, British, Australia and South Africa. Jellow is developed at the IDC School of Design at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B) located in Mumbai. The application is still under development.

The support and feedback of Coaches or communication partners are critical and mandatory components for the success of AAC intervention - which is why we included Coaches as active users too. Coaches can monitor daily progress, share experiences, and collaborate more effectively together with easy data tracking. Linggo Coach also acts as a notification system. When a Learner communicates in an active session, the Coach is notified with the Learner’s message. Coaches collect data on Learner’s communication, which is then graphed across progress reports. You can also export raw data and communication history for your own records. View progress reports on: • Total vocabulary • Word history and context of use across language and communication • Sentence history • Independence over time • Frequency of prompted and independent communication • Sentences created through aided language stimulation • Cumulative record of sight words acquired • Frequency of speech over time ** Linggo Coach accounts can be accessed on any iOS mobile device. As an authorized BACB ACE provider, Linggo offers training and education to expand communication training with evidence-based AAC strategies, insights and how-to’s as well as training sessions to receive personal support and consultation from our team of clinical experts.
