PlayButton vs Verbal Me Sampler

PlayButton is a simple app that provides the most minimal record and playback experience possible. One record button, one play button, and one sound at a time. If you need a quick way to record a sound and play it back, it doesn't get simpler than this. Used in therapy for special needs students who have physical problems with pressing small buttons, this app allows the user to participate with their sound. For additional control over the interface a "lock" functionality is available from the device's Settings that allows a recorded sound to be locked, removing the record buttons until the app is unlocked. If you choose to support PlayButton through a small in-app annual subscription, the Terms of Service are governed by Apple's standard terms, as specified here: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

This is a sample version of Verbal Me, a basic AAC and choice board app designed by special needs teachers for their students. Non-verbal kids can tap a button and the iPad will speak the button text aloud in either a boy's or girl's voice. This limited version includes 14 screen choices: yes-no, A-B-C, 1-2-3-4-5, Happy-Mad-Sad-Calm, Day-Night, bullying, weather, colors, fruits, letter sounds. Buttons contain text and/or picture so non-reading students can participate. By default, left- and right-arrow buttons allow students to switch screens. Optionally, the screen-switching buttons can be hidden and the adult switches screens by sliding one finger from the upper right to the lower left of the screen. Choose one of 18 screens and girl or boy voice. On the Settings screen, there is a link to the full version Verbal Me app with over 100 screen choices. A Spanish-language version is also available.
