Choicegenics is an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app for persons with special needs, who may have speech and language challenges and use an auditory-visual method of communication. The app provides features to create boards using images and texts. Actions, such as text to speech and navigation to other boards can be configured on choice selection to provide immediate feedback and continued communication opportunity. Boards can be created at home level, and also inside folders for ease of access and logical categorization. The boards inside a folder can be linked to provide paginated choices. Users can also backup their data to google drive and import previous data to restore boards and folders.
