Click AAC vs Choicegenics

Click AAC is an experimental Augmentative and Alternative Communication app being developed by researchers from the School of Information Studies at McGill University, Canada. Click AAC automatically creates a page with vocabulary symbols related to the scene shown in the input photograph. As in others AAC systems, users can reproduce computer-generated speech by clicking on the symbols. You can configure what type of vocabulary Click AAC will generate: a) Descriptive: A phrase and words describing the scene photographed. b) Related/Related expanded: Words with a certain relation with the elements in the scene photographed. c)Narrative: Phrases and words often used to create personal narratives about the scene photographed. Click AAC is fully customizable. Users can remove undesired vocabulary items, edit, add new words and phrases, and reorder photos and vocabulary items. Most of the layout is customizable. Adjust the size of each component in the interface according to your needs.

Choicegenics is an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app for persons with special needs, who may have speech and language challenges and use an auditory-visual method of communication. The app provides features to create boards using images and texts. Actions, such as text to speech and navigation to other boards can be configured on choice selection to provide immediate feedback and continued communication opportunity. Boards can be created at home level, and also inside folders for ease of access and logical categorization. The boards inside a folder can be linked to provide paginated choices. Users can also backup their data to google drive and import previous data to restore boards and folders.
