Verbal Me Sampler vs Voqo

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.

Voqo is a free, simple communication aid (AAC). Tap a picture and it speaks the word out loud. Build short phrases with the sentence bar, or have each tap speak straight away. It's made to be personal. Swap any picture for a real photo of your child's own cup, toy, or family, the things they recognise fastest. Add your own words and set the exact phrase that's spoken. A grown-up lock keeps the board safe from accidental changes. At setup you choose who it's for, a child or an adult, and the starting words and the look adapt to suit. Pick a small starter set or a fuller one, and grow it over time. Your communication board, photos and settings are stored on your device. There are no accounts or ads. The installed board uses your device's text-to-speech and works offline with an installed voice. You can export a backup, including your photos, to a destination you choose and restore it on another device. Optional feedback sends your message and technical details to our server; see our privacy policy for details. I built Voqo because I couldn't find a free, simple talking board for my own daughter, who is autistic. It's free, and it will stay free.
