Verbo 2 vs DonKeyBoard AAC

Verbo 2 is a multi-platform application that allows you to create communication boards and educational activities quickly and intuitively by combining pictograms, real photographs, text, sounds, and voice. It can be used with a mouse, touch screen, keyboard, switches, joystick, and even eye-tracking systems, with or without scanning, making it one of the most accessible and easy-to-use communication aid systems. You can use your Verbo 2 license on any device you want, both for playback and editing. For example, you can create a board on your Windows or Mac computer, take it to your iPad, and modify it right there whenever you need. Visit eneso.es/verbo for more information. • Augmentative and alternative communication within everyone's reach Create communication boards in just a few steps or use those shared by other users. You can make a cell speak a message with the voice of your choice, represent it using pictograms, text, or a combination of both, or build complete sentences and play them all at once. You can also include real sounds, music, or your own voice. Additionally, organize your board into pages or sections for different semantic categories (clothes, friends, expressions) or situations (at home, at school, etc.). It automatically conjugates in person, number, and tense if you wish, or allows Verbo to predict what you are going to write. • Personalize your style You can choose from several different styles: childlike, minimalist, following the Fitzgerald Key, with a high-contrast color combination... But you don't have to settle for our selection. Create your own style that adapts to your tastes and the way you are used to working. Square or rounded cells? With or without a border? What background color? Font size and type? You choose! • For everyone The flexibility provided by Verbo means it is a useful and accessible tool for everyone. You can use it to create boards with hundreds of different expressions and access them quickly through a switch, simple pages with pleasant colors and images that help introduce someone to literacy through combinations of calligraphic text and pictograms, or accessible keyboards with prediction. You can even use it to create simple interactive activities for comparison or association, but fully personalized. How about a "find the odd one out" activity with photos of familiar people or places? Or even an interactive story where you decide the plot. • Incredibly easy to use We have designed Verbo so that creating and accessing boards is easier than ever. In Verbo, we have simplified all the most common tasks so you can start working with it from day one. Want to create a cell that says something? Simply press and type the message! • High-quality voices and more than 100,000 pictograms Verbo includes the famous SymbolStix® pictogram library. With more than 24,000 symbols and 54,000 meanings, there will be no concept, place, object, expression, or feeling that you cannot express. You can also use the ARASAAC and Bliss pictogram libraries, or of course, your own images and photographs. In addition, each Verbo 2 license includes a high-quality Voxygen® synthesized voice. You can choose the language and gender, and if you wish, you can later complete your system with additional voices. • Join the community The Verbo Community contains hundreds of communication boards and educational activities created by us and by other Verbo users. All these resources are free and open, regardless of the type of license you have.
