Description
The cheapest AAC app compared to others offering the same features. 
Chatterboards was professionally developed, in collaboration with Speech Therapists and end users, with the aim of providing people in need with an AAC app that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars or require monthly subscriptions.

ChatterBoards is an easy to use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) aid for people of any age who have speech or language difficulties. This can include people with autism, aphasia, apraxia, stroke, downs syndrome, or any other disability that causes the individual to have difficulties in communicating or expressing their needs.

Continually updated with new features and enhancements. All suggestions and/or requests are considered.

Full feature list:

- Create and use vocabulary boards, including multiple paged vocabularies, for forming sentences.
- Board levels. Levels provide a way to progressively build up a user's vocabulary. A limited set of words can be displayed at each level, progressively building up the number of words shown until the full board is used. Words/Tiles do not move position between boards, allowing users to remember and learn a number of words at a time without them moving.
- Create and use basic phrase boards which associate a basic full phrase/sentence to an individual button, providing quick responses or questions for basic communication needs.
- Ability to create and switch between different profiles, each with their own set of boards and settings. Ideal for households with multiple users, or specialists with multiple clients.
- All board dimensions supported up to and included 16x16 (rows x columns) per page.
- Fully customisable buttons. Change their text, colour (border and background), image and audio playback
- Change a buttons image from either your devices photo library, camera, or from over 4000 sample symbols.
- Includes over 3500 symbols provided by Mulberry Symbols (https://mulberrysymbols.org/)
- Includes over 500 symbols designed by Freepik and distributed by Flaticon.
- Save images from the internet, or from your own symbol libraries, into your photo library for use.
- Supports text-only and image-only buttons.
- Fully customisable button audio. Use the Text to Speech synthesiser or record your own voice(s) using your devices microphone.
- Keyboard input mode. Alternatively to using symbols, manually enter desired vocabulary with keyboard input.
- Text to Speech supports all iOS packaged languages (over 50 languages/dialects). Includes multiple male and female voices for English.
- Change rate, pitch and/or volume of Text to Speech synthesiser.
- Set App wide voice/language, rate, pitch and volume default values for the Text to Speech synthesiser.
- Fully customisable boards. Change dimensions anytime, add, delete and move buttons as desired.
- Copy existing boards to create new permutations
- Copy/paste individual tiles
- Share boards with other users of ChatterBoards. Use Apple AirDrop, Mail, Message, or any other valid installed application on your device. 
- The ability to lock controls, e.g. editing. Like a parental control.
- Supports both iPhone and iPad

Also a number of Arasaac Symbols are included as samples (approx. 20).

Good app,some flaws

I like this app,I am a teen with selective mutism and constantly struggle to speak in certain situations,this app is super helpful and makes it super easy to communicate. However is does crash on me and deletes some of my boards that I was working on. Other then that I don’t see much wrong with it,the voices are good and clear,the quality is great,and I hope this app gets better

Volume

The volume won’t go up and I tried turning it up and recording my own voice and how do you edit the keyboard so you can use your voice

App audio is bugged, need fix

On version 16.4.1: Sound is bugged. It’s a great app to setup and use but after setting up a whole page the audio won’t play when tapping the tile or sentence. I was able to temporarily fix it by recording a personal audio for the tile and then revert it back to synthesize text. But upon closing and opening the app this un-did what I fixed and I had to do the same process to fix it. This won’t help because if my child closes the app I have to fix it every time.

Hands down THE best free AAC app I know of

One of the same boards uses core vocabulary really nicely. It has glitches for sure. But I have downloaded app after app and this is very easily the best AAC app I’ve downloaded. (And I swear I have done just about every free one in the App Store!)
