Descrição

Weave Chat AAC is a free, dynamic, and completely customizable AAC app that is available to a variety of devices.

Weave Chat AAC offers a large variety of verbs (green), pronouns (yellow), questions (purple), nouns (tan/orange), adjectives (blue), and conversational words (pink). All color choices were made based on the Fitzgerald Key and new vocabulary is added weekly.

Users can add their own custom images and categories in Settings —> Manage Custom Images.

In addition, users can add their own custom phrases that can easily be accessed from their board; to add phrases, go to Settings —> Manage Phrases.

Users can select a synthetic voice (dependent on their device settings) from Settings —> Change Voice Settings - here you can select your voice, vocal pitch, and rate of speech.

Image and text size can be personalized from Settings —> Change Image & Text Size (select from default - small, medium, and large). Settings —> Configure Image Keyboard allows the user to turn on/off features that allow for the category text to be read aloud (synthetic voice for categories), to keep the user in the category after a image has been selected (stay on category after image selection), and disable the speech output for individual words so that it only reads aloud when the white text screen is touched (synthetic voice disabled for individual words).

The AAC board can be modified in Settings —> Manage Board Builder. Here, the user can select from the default board (you must make a copy to edit it - to do this select “Add new keyboard” and then select “Hide Images” for Type of Keyboard); grid position boards (ranging in size from 1x2 - 7x15 rows/columns); and Board Builder (gives you the option to build a board from scratch). All boards are completely editable and all custom images and categories can be used from all boards.

Lastly, Manage Pin Configuration allows the user to set a pin over all (or just some) aspects of customization to lock down features as needed.

Weave Chat has come so far

I downloaded this app when it first came out, a couple of years ago now. Then, it was a bit clunky, clearly earning the name “beta”. Since then it has massively improved, become sleeker, and the AAC features more robust. I have come to expect updates regularly as well as near continuous adding of vocabulary. Recently, vocabulary has been aimed at adult users and, as an adult user, I very much appreciate this. Recently they added the ability to add your own category (not just an icon) and this was a much needed feature. I can now organize my added icons in a way that works better for me. Something else I really like it that I can text my friends with icons using the messaging feature. I have never seen this in another AAC app. As a part-time AAC user, this feature allows me to continue to communicate when my regular communication methods are not ideal.

Thank you for the feedback! Many features in the app or new vocabulary have come at the request of our users.

Great communication app for adults

I downloaded the app to have an alternate way for my residents to communicate with me at the nursing home I work at. I love how there are continuous vocabulary packages coming out and I especially appreciate the medical vocabulary as that is something that is essential for my residents to be able to communicate. I also appreciate the fact that you can add your own vocabulary to make it personalized for each individual user. Also, I love how easy it is to contact the owners/developers to ask for specific vocabulary.

Free Functional AAC app

I use Weave Chat for students with language and articulation needs. I like the functionality of the display, the ability to change how many pictures appear on screen and even the size of the pictures (this is especially helpful for students with limited physical mobility and those with visual difficulties). I like how you can change features like including or eliminating the verbal output when selecting pictures. The pictures are simple and clearly convey the word it represents. And the best thing… NO IN-APP PURCHASES!!!
