The AACSpeechBuddy solution allows users to quickly and easily create customized Speech Sets using their own photos or collected images, or using images from the AACSpeech.com image repository.
With the AACSpeech.com image repository you have access to over 2000+ images from the Mulberry Symbols collection by Paxtoncrafts Charitable Trust.
These images are internationally recognized standardized PECS images, and are now available FREE for use in your own custom speech sets.
Users can also share content with each other , allowing Teachers & Parents to create and share Speech Sets - that can be loaded onto the AACSpeechBuddy APP
Teachers & Parents can create and group Speech Sets into profiles - which allow the sets to load on ANY AACSpeechBuddy Application - by simply entering the profile #ID in the AACSpeechBuddy App
Once the Speech Sets are loaded they DO NOT require a network connection to run - the App and Desktop Application only requires a live internet connection when loading new or updated speech sets.

Customer Reviews
Truly in a class by itself - no other AAC App offeres the sharing that SpeechBuddy does
We love the AACSpeechBuddy – Speech Sets can be shared with your child’s speech therapist or other AACSpeechBUddy users
- This app is a Godsend !!! Prefect fit for the blending of Home and School environments. Not only does the AACSpeechBuddy give you the ability to share your created, customized, personalized speech sets with others, it also gives you the ability to load the speech set that specifically pertains to a certain individual or situation – by simply selecting a speech set or entering a profile id which changes the entire content loaded onto your APP in one easy action! Anothere unique feature is the option, , to flip the screen over to reveal a large, easy-to-read, text of whatever the user has chosen to say with their speech set. In other words, if your autistic non-verbal teenager is in a busy place trying to use his iPhone or iPad to communicate, but when it is too noisy to hear anything, he can simply SHOW the screen and have you read it. We recommend the Buddy !!!!!! Thank you for making this great app
