Create and use symbol based grids…or use photos to make visual scene displays. Or, take both and create a hybrid page. The possibilities are endless with ChatAble. ChatAble is an easy to use communication aid app for people with communication difficulties who benefit from symbol and photo support. Parents, teachers and therapists can create page sets in minutes with an intuitive set up. The customization options are extensive to enable people with a range of physical, cognitive and language abilities the opportunity to use the app to communicate at home, school or with their family and friends.

Create, share and use pages using a combination of grids, visual scenes and hybrids; all linked together for easy use. Speak your message with high quality text to speech voices for a range of English voices with British, American and Australian accents…and add an emoticon to add laughter, surprise or anger! After entering your message you can also share it using email, twitter or Facebook. As pages can be backed up and saved, you can share them with other students or friends too!
