Proloquo2Go

July 4, 2012

New technology promises to give thousands of children who cannot speak a voice.

An app called Proloquo2Go allows six-year-old Ruby Dunn to tap on symbols on a tablet computer – and then have a sentence read out in a child’s voice.

The software, which features the voices of two British children, is among a number of innovations now helping children with special needs.

Rory Cellan-Jones reports.

    I actually can’t see Proloquo2Go in that video — they seem to be using specialised tablet devices which have their own software and at one point a recent Samsung Galaxy phone is displayed (in fact, AAC software for Android is pretty basic). Proloquo2Go is for Apple’s iOS devices and has been around since about 2009.
