Speak Up with Text-Based AAC
Not being able to speak isn’t the same as having nothing to say. Children, teens and adults who can’t (always) speak can use this Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app for iOS to communicate confidently. If you can write, you can use Proloquo4Text – it’s that easy.
Make yourself heard
You’ll love the freedom this Text to Speech app gives you to express yourself. Proloquo4Text’s intuitive word and sentence prediction uses what you type to anticipate what you might say next – helping you save time and effort.
But what really makes this AAC solution stand out is the single screen layout, which keeps everything at hand. Proloquo4Text’s versatility makes it useful for people with autism, cerebral palsy, ALS, and a range of other diagnoses.

Behind the scenes with Lost Voice Guy
Proloquo4Text is a very powerful app. I especially like how I can have conversations at the same time without losing any text.
