Speech-to-text Software Also called voice recognition software Types whatever a person says Used in computers, phones, and some tablets ADA requires new computers and laptops to come with it. Built in to Windows 7 and newer

AAC Devices and apps AAC – Augmentative & Alternative Communication Also called “talkers” Can be an app for a tablet Many basic AAC apps available for free “speak” for people who can’t

Boardmaker Program that creates picture tools Examples of what can be made with Boardmaker Calendars and Schedules Picture cards for PEC’s (Picture Exchange Communication Picture directions Flashcards for EEL’s and new readers
