Proloquo2Go iPhone app

Although we haven’t covered Proloquo2Go when it was initially released in the AppStore, we think it’s an important application, hence we’re covering it now, when an updated version is available. Proloquo2Go is an important app because it’s the first consumer device-based communication solution for people who cannot speak. That by itself should be newsworthy! And now that it has been updated, that’s one more reason to cover it. Version 1.1 adds British voices, voice personalization and “other innovative features,” which we’re not sure what they are exactly. The application costs $189.99 and that’s like nothing compared to some other solutions which cost $2,500 and more.

As I’m far from being an expert on the topic, I’ll stop here. Here’s the AppStore link where you can get all the details about the application…

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    This is a great application for people that cannot speak or have limited speech. However, if you know of someone or are someone who would benifit from a speech output device, make sure you first get evaluated by a speech language pathologist who specializes in augmentative communication. This device is not appropriate for everyone and will not meet the needs of everyone.
