Big announcement! Vocable AAC is out on both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. It is 100% free, open source, and without ads. We hope that those affected by motor impairments and/or intubation will benefit from this tool. #Covid_19 #aac #assistivetechnology

We just released an update with an AI listening mode for Vocable, the head tracking AAC app I've worked on. Completely free, check it out if you have or know anyone who could use some help with speaking https://t.co/5zd1Zpzzs6

Been playing around with @vocableapp and suggested it for a person with dementia and another whose had a stroke. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to support individuals and their families with these #AAC supports. An amazing app with a super easy to use interface! #ATChat

@malewifepeniel Hey! The only way to change the language of the app at this time is to change the device’s language under settings. For example, changing it to German for the entire phone will change the language for Vocable.

@Sylvie_Xandra Hey Sylvie! The keyboard changes to a QWERTY layout when the device is rotated to landscape mode. The initial design decision was to keep the portrait mode alphabetical because of the reduced width. This is something we have gotten feedback on and are open to updating! -Matt

@Sylvie_Xandra Sylvie, thanks so much for sharing. I loved watching the video + reading comments. Would always love to see more TikTok content out there of Vocable but we are a completely volunteer-based app—no one has made a penny from it so it can be free for our users. - Matt

@ChanceHMiller This made our day!

@ErsinSNY Glad you are finding it helpful! And yes, we have a CrowdIn project to help crowdsource other languages. We'd love to have you contribute https://t.co/32RaVxHKCm

@RachaelBrown42 Update: If you are using an iOS device, you can change the voice by going into the Settings app > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voice, and there is a list of different choices (Note: Siri voices will not work)

I've been working on @vocableapp this month at @willowtreeapps--it's a free app that helps people communicate when they can't speak or move. We just released 1.4 on Android which introduces custom categories for your phrases!
