TippyTalk Mobile vs TypingTalk AAC

TippyTalk is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app for people of all ages who have trouble speaking due to aphasia, nonverbal autism, stroke, apraxia, down syndrome, ALS and other speech and language disorders. Using TippyTalk, non-verbal and speech-impaired persons use pictorial prompts to send messages to friends and family on their mobile phones. They then respond with video, pictures, audio or text to be read aloud. TippyTalk is also a text-to-speech (TTS) app as messages can be read aloud to anyone in the room with them. TippyTalk is unique, affordable, and easy-to-use. A Manager (usually a parent or other family member) customizes the app with illustrations of the TippyTalker's favorite things, such as restaurants, toys, places, pets, foods, and activities. The TippyTalker selects illustrations to create a simple sentence. TippyTalk gives non-verbal or speech-impaired persons of all ages ("TippyTalkers") two-way communication with the world! The TIPPYTALK COMMUNITY mode is for the parent/family member helping the TippyTalker AND for the invited friends and family of the TippyTalker. The TIPPYTALKER mode is for the non-verbal or speech-impaired person. IF YOU WILL BE HELPING A TIPPYTALKER WITH THE APP, YOU ARE A MANAGER. To get started, download the free TippyTalk Mobile app. You might want to have the app on two devices: your own device and the TippyTalker’s.
