Description

simPODD is an app for the popular PODD system that makes communication more simple for those who can’t speak. Built in collaboration with Gayle Porter, it’s the only PODD app for iPad to bring digital page sets and a printing interface into one app. From the makers of Proloquo2Go, this augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) app is sure to become a favourite among PODD users, because it's the only PODD app built specifically for their needs.

“simPODD’s integration of PODD communication books and electronic page sets in a single product supports people to "say what I want to say, to whoever, whenever and however I choose to say it.” - Gayle Porter, creator of the PODD system

Highlights
• Access to all PODD digital page sets: 15 Preschool, 15+ Preschool, 15 School, 15+ School, 60 Complex Syntax, 60 Expanded Key Word
• Fully integrated printing interface in the app to print Direct Access individual PODD books and the PODD Group books (with yearly subscription)
• Streamlined and simplified editing process
• Uses SymbolStix
• Regionally specific vocabulary and British, Australian and American voices
• 38 natural-sounding text-to-speech voices including genuine children’s voices
• Free 1-month trial

How it works
simPODD makes using PODD much simpler. First, it brings the digital page sets and printing experience into one app. No need to manage different payments and subscriptions, or learn how to use multiple programs. It’s all rolled into one. It’s easy to use, no matter who you are: parent, teacher, speech therapist or PODD user.

Customising and editing digital page sets is also very straightforward with simPODD. Quickly edit the vocabulary, create new buttons and link folders without following a lot of complicated steps. Since we worked closely with PODD users while building the app, we took all of the hassle and frustration out of these processes.

The easiest PODD book printing experience
The printing function for PODD books is right inside the app. Just select a book and customise. Print the book all at once, instead of page by page. It only takes a few minutes!

You can create as many books as you need, and print them for all of the people in a PODD communicator’s life.

What is PODD?
PODD (Pragmatic Organisation Dynamic Display) is a popular AAC system created and owned by Gayle Porter. PODD organises vocabulary around communication function and predicted likely usage to make it more efficient to get something across. PODD's range of books and page sets support language development from first words to complex syntax. The books and page sets for early communicators also include strategies like pragmatic branch starters. This supports more intelligible and varied communication.

Please add more languages? Love your work

It would be a dream come true if this or Proloquo2go were in Portuguese. High tech AAC are now much more known here in Brazil, but we have a hard time finding good options that support our language. I tried this app during the free trial period and it was one of the most amazing aac apps I’ve tried. It’s just not useful in daily life for me because of the language barrier. If only it had at least the option to autotranslate and use voices in other languages, it would be a blessing. Something that I noticed that made it a bit harder to use was the lack of a search button, so I could search for a button I couldn’t find. If there was one, I really couldn’t find it.
I have a question. Does this app work on iphones like proloquo?

Developer Response ,

Hi AnimeFanGirl45, thank you so much for the love and happy stars! We have tiny heart bubbles rising from the tops of our heads! First, please know that PODD (Pragmatic Organization Dynamic Display - the communication system that simPODD is based on) is only available in English, which is why simPODD is only available in English. Next, simPODD does not have a search feature because PODD is intended to teach the path pragmatically using branches. So the idea is that you use PODD to find words - naturally with the PODD. Finally, simPODD is not available on iPhone because PODD can not be adapted to the smaller screen size. If you would like to learn more about simPODD and AAC in general, please feel free to check out the simPODD Help (www.assistiveware.com/support/simpodd) and Learn AAC (www.assistiveware.com/learn-aac) sections on our website. As an aside, if you are looking for an AAC app that supports Brazilian Portuguese, you may want to take a look at Proloquo4Text (www.assistiveware.com/products/proloquo4text) as you can download a female Brazilian Portuguese voice within the app for free and the app supports Brazilian Portuguese text. For more info on the app, please see our Proloquo4Text Help section here (www.assistiveware.com/support/proloquo4text). If you ever have questions about any of our apps or want advice from our AAC experts, please do not hesitate to drop us a message at support@assistiveware.com and one of our team members will be glad to assist! Peace! :-)

Não possui outras línguas fora inglês

Por favor adicionem outros idiomas, o app let me talk já possui o português mas é inferior ao simPODD.

Developer Response ,

Hi juli2609, we are very sorry for the disappointment that simPODD is only available in English. The reason for this is that PODD (the communication system that simPODD is based on) is not currently translated into other languages. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please email our team at support@assistiveware.com and one of team members will be happy to help you. :-)
