DropTap is a new communication support app developed by the Droplet Project. It is an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app designed for individuals who have difficulty communicating through spoken language, allowing them to interact with others using symbols and voice.
DropTap features the following:
- A comprehensive symbol library
More than 2,000 "Drops" symbols are pre-installed and can be used immediately. "Drops" are communication symbols developed by the Droplet Project.
- Convenient function to use symbols in other apps
"Drops" are widely used in the field of special education as a standard tool for creating picture cards, schedules, posters, and other materials. The DropTap library allows users to easily copy and paste Drops symbols into other apps. The search function for Drops symbols is also enhanced.
- Easy to operate
Symbols are placed on a screen called a "board," and tapping on them will play the corresponding voice. The number of symbols that can be placed on the board can be freely changed depending on the user's disability. The app also has a feature that plays multiple symbols as a sentence.
- Easy to add symbols
In addition to Drops, users can add images from their camera or album and display text only. The app supports recording from a microphone or text-to-speech.
- Easy sharing of communication boards
Created boards can be saved as files and shared via Air Drop, email, and messaging. Sharing is easy, allowing for the use of boards created by teachers at school in the home, adding symbols to boards created by others, and more.
- External switch compatibility
The app is compatible with external switch inputs for individuals with physical disabilities.
