Description
“I think image2talk is an easy to use and simple system that could be used successfully
by children and adults with emerging language skills. The instant feedback and the visual
nature of the system will help in reducing communication frustration.”
Claudine Ivers, Senior Speech and Language Therapist
image2talk is a simple to use, effective and fully customizable app that enables communication for individuals with whom verbal speech is impaired.
Whether an individual is having difficulty communicating due to autism, stroke or any other communication disorder, image2talk can give that individual the ability to express themselves through the use of images, text and speaker output.
Suitable for adults and children, straightforward and adaptable customization within image2talk allows for the creation a personal communication tool.
Unique to image2talk is that it completely eliminates the effort of having to navigate through menu or category pages. image2talk is based on the professional experiences of Fiona Wilson, a teacher working with students on the autism spectrum also presenting with general learning disabilities.
“My brother-in-law was an attorney. A massive stroke stole his words. Losing his words was devastating. Showing him how image2talk worked, including family pictures with names, he touched picture after picture - repeating the word or phrase perfectly. He was never able to remember how to say his wife's or his grandchildrens' names until he had this tool? I added a picture of a heart, typing "I LOVE YOU" for it, shortened the time and now he can say, "I love you, Elaine"!!!
Do you know what a GIFT that is? ”
Judi Smolin, USA
“My daughter is 20 yrs old, moderate/severe Autism and though she can not talk, she does understand what is said to her verbally. She loves the REAL pictures. What I love about the Image2talk App is that it is so EASY to use, easy to change or add pictures, and the voice output is so clearly understood!”
Michele Skoog, Radcliff KY (USA)
* Tap and make images talk
- tap the image - e.g. tap an orange
- the image shows - see an orange on the screen
- speaker output emits response - 'I want an orange'
*Combine standard imagery with your own images
Create your own rows by deleting or reordering standard imagery. Add your own images via the Camera roll. Import rows from the gallery or your Dropbox folder. If required, start off small and build up number of rows and images over time
* Effective time delay - No need to press a back button
Tap an image, image enlarges and after a set time delay the basic overview screen will reappear. If appropriate, the time delay can be increased to give users opportunities to develop speaker and reader skills.

Ratings and Reviews
Love this application
We have been using this app for years for my nonverbal son with autism it has helped him tremendously. Please keep sharing I’m so afraid one day the app won’t open with the apple updates.
Great App!
This app is simple to use and easy to customize. Purchased it for my nonverbal son with autism. He likes the photographs. Other more complex apps with line drawings very too difficult for him to understand and navigate. I am happy that all of his communication pictures are in one location. I have had some issues with the order of images moving within a row, but all things considered it's just what I was looking for in a voice output communication app. Have installed it on both an iPad and iPod. Since the recent update all the problems have been fixed with this app. Image2 talk is so simple to customize. This app is a must for the language impaired of any age and their caregivers.
Amazing!
This is the first communication app my son has been able to use, he is 21 and severely autistic and nonverbal. We have other communication apps that are just to complicated, this is perfect for him, we have only had it for a day and he has used it a lot. The pictures it comes with are great and it also allows you to use your own pictures too, I totally recommend!
