Description
MyVoice is an alternative and augmentative communications aide (AAC) designed to help non-verbal low cognitive people communicate their needs and desires. Unlike most other programs and devices of this type, MyVoice is designed to be extremely easy for caregivers to set up and users to use. The concept is similar to a digital PECS (picture exchange communication system), which have proven to be extremely effective with non-verbal children. We've taken every step to minimize data entry and simplify flow. My own child has autism and uses this program every day. She's gone from just standing and pointing (often leaving us guessing as to what she needs) to going and getting the device so she can tell us exactly what she wants. Now we'd like to help as many people as we can break through the communication barrier with their children as well. Part of the sale of each copy of MyVoice goes to charities that help people with communication related disabilities.

Customer Reviews
Just What I Was Looking For.
Pros:
Very simple and quick to set up and use.
Very easy for small children with cognitive and motor delays.
Cons:
In concept, none!
Other programs use cryptic verb icons and rely on typing or more advanced menu navigation. For young children though, with cognitive and motor delays, they are just too hard to use. I can't imagine how this app could be easier to use for us and our son.
Wishlist:
Audio should be made much louder. With volume at max, and speaking an inch away, playback is a whisper.
It would be awesome if the data could be synchronized across multiple devices. Our son isn't able to have his own device yet, so we'd like to use the setup on every adult's phone and our iPad.
Thanks so much for a wonderful app!
