SoundingBoard

It's a wonderful app, very easy to use, one of the most useful ive seen so far for either verbal or non verbal children . however my son has been working on putting sentences together. It would be nice to have the option of a sentence strip, something they could place the pictures on if they flip through the pages, if you have for example food choices on a page and let's say your first pec choice is I want then they could line their food choice next to it and we add one for please after. so once he's made his choice he has a sentence he can look at and possibly say instead of having all the options that he doesnt want in between.

This app comes with preloaded pictures, boards and sayings that are fairly generic and not PCS, however you can edit, link, record, and it's completely customizable. You can put a picture you take with your camera as a button, and record your voice to say what you want when it's pushed, and link that button to a separate page such as "I want" > "movies"> "Tangled." My son prefers this app over TouchChat currently because the borders are wider between buttons which makes them easier to see. Play with this first before you decide on paying for TouchChat, Alexicomm or LAMP! I've done 3 out of 4 and SoundingBoard is still top pick.

Bad UI and terrible UX for those creating boards. Don't get me started on using photos on the app. I have over 20k photos and it wants to download all photos In order to use it. Does not use google photos or Dropbox folders ... annoying.

I downloaded this app to use with a 10 year old speech student of mine who is very unintelligible. We had looked into purchasing a very expensive augmentative communication device, and decided to explore other options. Another "free" version of a communication app (TapToTalk) was extremely limited. Then, when reading the reviews for TapToTalk, I noticed a user's suggestion to try SoundingBoard. I had to give it a try. I've only had the app since yesterday, and I've already made several boards specifically tailored to my student. He LOVES it! Pages are simple to make, and the ability to link buttons to other pages indefinitely is SUCH a plus. This free app does as much as I needed the very expensive aug comm device to do!! If I don't see any glitches as time goes on, I will be entirely thrilled! Thanks for making this free.

Bought this to help a 5 year old with CP. Very dissapointed that they don't offer letters as choices. No symbols for yes/no either. I thought there would be many more symbols than what they have... :( So sorry I spent $50 on this. I should also add that the navigation in creating pages could be much easier. There are many unnecessary extra clicks that have to be made compared to other AAC aps (I've been trying EVERY one I can get my hands on). When you take your own pics it does not give you the option of cropping/centering/zooming yourself, yet it takes your rectangular pic and converts it to a square for you, leaving off important info. Needs: Improved navigation, for quicker board design (like iComm) Some basic pre-formated pages Editing options for pics and boards (changing the size and placement of the choices...as it is you can only swa out designated spots) Basic communication symbols for yes/no, alphabet etc I'm going to just stop looking and give Proloquo2go a chance. Didn't want to pay the $189, but I've already been spending too much trying the cheaper aps like this one. I'm not sure the designers spent time looking at other aps. If they offer some good updates this could improve greatly.
