Simple AAC vs GibTalk

FAQ How do I use different languages for a word? Edit the word and choose a language from the list. The list shows the languages your device has a voice for; choose "Add a language…" to install more. A word speaks in the wrong language. What do I do? Your device probably has no voice for that language yet. GibTalk shows a red dot on the Edit button; in edit mode, tap "Install voice". You can also install voices yourself: on Android, Settings → Text-to-speech output → your engine's settings → Install voice data; on iPhone and iPad, Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices.
