The **iComm** (short for I Communicate) is an app providing an affordable, custom built and easy to use communication system using pictures and words - both written and spoken. It is ideal for children under three until they are able to express their needs through well formed speech. The iComm is also very useful for children with a broad range of disabilities who have trouble communicating such as cerebral palsy or autism.

Most of the files in the iComm are blank to give the user complete flexibility to add their own photos and voice. The app then becomes a tailored communication device for your child that it will instantly recognise. The iComm provides content for basic fundamental communication such as; yes, no, more and finished.

**__Predictable__** is a cost effective and unique communication aid solution for people with disabilities which result in speech impairment. Predictable may be a valuable communication aid for people with conditions such as cerebral palsy, motor neuron disease, acquired brain injury and other dysarthrias and motor speech disorders. Users can type a message more efficiently by using a sophisticated word prediction engine and speak the message using a range of voices.

1) Direct Touch via typing for those who can access the iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone function as normal. 2) **Switch Access** users can continue to use existing switches. *Note you would need a Switch interface for this mode. 3) Touch Anywhere method turns the iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone screen into a switch while Predictable is in auto scan mode, thus allowing the user to tap anywhere on screen to select the scanned portion.

**TouchChat** gives an individual the ability to navigate through page sets and speak messages. Page sets are linked pages, each of which is divided into a number of buttons.
