This easy-to-use AAC and choice board app was suggested and edited by special needs teachers and therapists to help nonverbal kids participate in class. Users tap a button and the iPad or iPhone speaks the button text aloud in either a boy's or girl's voice. Page choices include yes/no, alphabet, numbers, interactive speaking clock, skip counting, opposites, colors, world map, US coins, bullying, getting dressed, using the bathroom, seasons, emotions, BINGO, body parts, life cycle of a butterfly, custom pages with editable text and pictures.
Educators and parents can switch pages by sliding one finger from the upper right to the lower left of the iPad screen. Alternatively, turn on the settings and arrow buttons to let kids switch pages. Choose from over 100 prebuilt pages with colorful buttons and create up to 100 additional pages with custom buttons you can edit. A Spanish-language version is also available.
SWITCH USERS: Students with dexterity challenges can use a Bluetooth switch with Verbal Me. First, open your iPad or iPhone Settings app. In the Bluetooth section, turn on Bluetooth and connect to the switch device. Then in Verbal Me, button 1 could be assigned to advance to next button and button 2 to press the button. Or on 1-button switches, turn on auto scanning in the Verbal Me settings (gear icon), and press your switch button when the desired button is selected.
I love this app and struggle through the time it takes to create anything because it’s such a good fit for my son to communicate with. I really wish there was an edit mode, some don’t have to hold the button down 3 seconds for text… then another 3 seconds to add a photo.
Great app

This is app is great. Works well with my non-verbal students The only thing I wish it has taking out the swipe to get back to the mail screen and making it a button so my students can use the app easier and add in pictures or the ability to add pictures in with words
Amazing…when it works

We use this as an alternative to my child’s large speech device and it’s a really great app. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with the most recent update so we can’t use it until they decide to fix it. That’s really frustrating with an app like this that isn’t just for fun, but an accommodation for those who need it.
Ios8 made trouble, I think

Great, simple app for communication needs. We had just begun using it with a student via single switch (screen touch) and auto scan through iOS built-in "switch access". After ios8 upgrade, auto scan abruptly switches after a choice has been selected. We are seeing this in the Yes/No page when No is chosen. The focus jumps almost simultaneously back to Yes. Hope this can be fixed so we can continue using this fantastic app!
Sound and logic improvements.
