    We have developed another app that I think should be added to your
    list, the AACSpeechBuddy (http://www.aacspeech.com).

    It is an AAC app using PECS and text-to-speech technologies. The big
    difference is it has a data sharing component. All of the
    configuration (menus, icons, sounds, etc) are controlled by an account
    on the website. The sets can then be loaded to any number of remote
    devices, and can be shared with others. Once the data has been
    download to the device, a network connection is no longer needed for
    operation. Supports iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android 1.6+, and any Java
    capable machine (Linux, Mac, Windows).

    I would be happy to provide any additional information and promo
    codes/demo versions to you and your staff.

    Thank you for your time

    email I received:

    I saw your post about apps designed for children with autism. I would love for you to add our app to your list. MyVoice is designed by the father of a non verbal, low cognitive child with autism. It turns any Droid tablet or phone (version 2.1 or higher) into an instant AAC. MyVoice uses pictures of real life things/people and is very easy to update and use. We would love you to review our app and help spread the word.

    Please let me know if you would like a copy to review. Our website has a video tutorial as well. www.discovermyvoice.com
