The app was specifically developed for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and is suitable for children, adolescents, and adults with communication needs, as well as for parents, educators, and therapists. NineTalk offers a fast and affordable solution that is available immediately, without lengthy application or approval processes. It can be used both for first steps into communication and for concrete everyday situations where a communication interface needs to be created quickly and easily. Instead of predefined grids, NineTalk deliberately focuses on simplicity and clarity: communication pages are based on real-life situations and individual needs. ------------------------------------ Communication that fits everyday life With NineTalk, you can create your own communication pages with up to nine freely placeable buttons per page.
