Proloquo2Go
Proloquo2Go provides a full-featured augmentative and alternative communication solution for people who have difficulty speaking. It provides natural sounding text-to-speech voices (CURRENTLY AMERICAN, BRITISH and INDIAN ENGLISH ONLY), high resolution up-to-date symbols, powerful automatic conjugations, a default vocabulary of over 7000 items, advanced word prediction, full expandability and extreme ease of use.
Proloquo2Go is for anyone who cannot afford spending thousands of dollars on an AAC device and yet wants a solution that is just as good if not better. SLPs, teachers and parents recommend it for children and adults with autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, developmental disabilities, apraxia, ALS, stroke or traumatic brain injury.
"The price is so compelling," said Dan Herlihy, owner of Connective Technology Solutions, "and the software and hardware platform Proloquo2Go runs on so radically improved over current devices in its category that if not quite a paradigm shift, markedly raises the bar for accessibility, ease of use, and affordability."
Proloquo2Go is a universal application that can be used on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad (without requiring the user to purchase it twice). Proloquo2Go can be used to communicate without requiring a WiFi or 3G connection.

INCLUDED VOICES: The current version includes North American English male, female, girl and boy voices. These can be swapped at no costs for British male and female voices or an Indian English female voice that can be downloaded through WiFi by Proloquo2Go. Support for other languages and voices is expected early 2012.

What's new
Version 1.7.2 is a bug fix release addressing a number of problems that were encountered with the major 1.7 update. Based on feedback from the Proloquo2Go user community, version 1.7.2 also brings back two experimental features that had been removed in version 1.7.
The most important changes in version 1.7.2 are:
- The "Adjust # of Columns" experimental feature that was removed in version 1.7 has been reinstated and can be used to show more columns when the device is used in landscape compared to when it is used in portrait orientation.
- The "Try to Fill Screen" experimental feature that was removed in version 1.7 has been reinstated and can be used to make some categories with few buttons have larger buttons to fill most of the screen.
- A bug that could cause items to randomly moved in some categories has been fixed.
- A rare bug that could cause the app to freeze with a white screen after launching the app has been fixed.
- If all views but the grid or list view have been restricted only a home button will appear in the bottom toolbar.
- The prediction button size for the typing view can now be set completely independently from the item size settings.
