Accessibility on iPhone & iPod touch:
Acapela for iPhone speech empowers Proloquo2Go

People with speech difficulties now have the possibility to use the smart iPhone or iPod touch devices to communicate with others, through an easy to use, advanced programme designed by AssistiveWare and using Acapela High Quality speech synthesis.

Proloquo2Go is a full-featured augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) solution that fits in the pocket and brings Acapela natural sounding text-to-speech capabilities at the fingertips.

Features also include up-to-date symbols, powerful automatic conjugations, default vocabulary of over 7000 items, full expandability and extreme ease of use to the iPhone and iPod touch.

‘It's a perfect solution for anyone who cannot afford spending a large part of their budget on an AAC tool but looks for a powerful solution’ Says David Niemeijer CEO of AssistiveWare. ‘Proloquo2Go will empower them with the freedom of voice using Acapela for iPhone, with female, male and also boy and girl voices to suit the end user’.

It will particularly appeal to young adults and teenagers who will enjoy using Apple devices on a daily basis, as a companion to a table top device or as a user’s sole AAC aid.

Proloquo2Go is a great solution for children and adults with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, developmental disabilities, or apraxia. It can also serve adults with acquired disabilities such as ALS, stroke or traumatic brain injury. Proloquo2Go can also be a useful solution in hospital and rehabilitation settings and a cost-effective solution for special education.

‘AssitiveWare and Acapela Group have been partners for a long time, working together to bring innovations to the Accessibility market and offer smart talking solutions to ease the daily lives of end users. We are very happy to have contributed to the development of this milestone in AAC and to give a voice to Proloquo2Go which is a breakthrough product for the accessibility market’ says Lars-Erik Larsson, CEO of Acapela Group.

Proloquo2Go is available on the App Store (http://itunes.com/apps/Proloquo2Go) for an introductory price of US$ 149.99 or Euro 109.99.

Proloquo2Go uses Acapela Group’s state-of-the-art Text-to-Speech voices. The current version includes North American English male, female, girl and boy voices. British English voices will soon be available as an option. Support for other languages and voices will be soon available.
