I ve used MyTalkTools in my classroom for a long time and love it In fact it just keeps getting better because the company listens to its users and keeps adding features MyTalk is perfect for teaching and assessing my students on the lowest one percent level They are slow learners but can and do learn As a music teacher MyTalkTools is the only app that can make DJs and VJs out of any student who can select by eye gaze or touch Via Apple TV add the image or video to an LCD screen and pump the sound through a sound system Cool Additionally MyTalk can mimic the alternate assessment my state has where there are three answers and if a student selects the incorrect answer the choice disapears allowing the student to try again from two choices Naturally students give an iPad more attention than the boaring black and white line drawings used for testing At one school show I programmed all the comments that an MC would say so students could run the show with a touch of a finger The acapela voice was so good that someone asked who the MC was when she watched the show on closed circuit TV The cameraman didn t pick up the students so she didn t have an idea is was students using MyTalkTools I ve even made a board for myself in case of the event that one day I might need to communicate let s say where pain is but can t talk As magical as it sounds people with a degenerative condition can bank their voice for the future The free version will give you an idea of if it s for you Because MyTalkTools has so many features there is a learning curve but the tutorials are well made Start small and your find before long you will be full of implimentation ideas Good luck and have fun June 2016 Update MyTalkTools had continued to listen to its users through the years There are more features than ever and they are easier to use To the novice MyTalkTools may not look like much from its simple framework The beauty is the simplicity of use for the board creator and the end user Once the basics are mastered there are lots of attribuites to explore I love being able to save units of work throughout the school year and return to them later with the option to edit them to meet new students needs More updates MyTalkTools can mimic the expensive dangerous infrared eye gaze systems they can cause seizures by using the camera that faces the user to look for eyes dwelling on a cell or looking for an eye wink movement to use as a mouse click It has been working for my students with severe cognitive disabilities and physical challenges They get SO excited then they can actually control something Note that one needs good lighting and a background that isn t busy visually MyTalkTools is still my go to tool in my classroom                     This Is A Classroom Dream Come True tweeish

I have used MyTalk for my nonverbal clients for 4 years now It has helped my clients become more independent at work and in the community I use the professional workspace to quickly make communication cells on a variety of subjects wants and needs ordering in a restaurant activities to choose from while at dayhab and at home places to go in the community etc Each board is individualized for every client The professional workspace is a breeze to use Any problems I have encountered only a few times in the 4 years of use have been quickly remedied by Bick or Kevin                     SLP jfranklin87560

I originally downloaded So Much 2 Say and loved it but did not realize that it was an iPad only But I looked for an alternative and found this I am liking this app more and more every day My 2 1 2 year old grandson is picking it up pretty well                     Like this app MJCompugirl

Hi Everyone I have been in education for 20 years serving as a teacher associate I ve held a state Paraeducator certificate since 2000 This will be my 6 th year working with a student who has intellectual and communication disabilities We are now in High School We have tried several communication tools and we were thrilled to find MYTALK TOOLS about 3 years ago I have been able to customize MyTalk boards for my student s use and unique needs I don t have to weed through myriads of stuff to find what my student will can use These are some of the ways we use MyTalk Tools home school and in community order favorite foods when dining out Answer yes no class questions as well as A B C D E options and counting to 20 oral class reports Compliment and or greet family friends class mates staff Ask for help bathroom express feelings and needs She can tell others favorite movies or movies she wants to watch about family contact information age and school she attends What recreational activities she enjoys About weekend activities                     My Talk Tools parapro2

The main reason I like this apart from very clean and simple boards that are highly responsive is that is intelligently backed up and synchronized with a web based authoring environment It is only a matter of time before the iPad is stolen dropped or missing With this software you get your new device type in a name and password and voila your boards are re downloaded It s a great concept There is a bit of an initial learning curve but once you learn it it s pretty straight forward Took me a couple hours before I felt comfortable but now it seems fine When there s a field of 2 the images are nice and huge and fill most of the space rather than most apps where you re limited to a tiny square Also you can create boards and sub boards galore so the hierarchy of language starts to make sense and become usable vs other programs where it s a flat hierarchy Also with this app you can import pictures from the web incredibly easily just by typing a keyword search For examble we buy a certain brand of yogurt and i typed that brand into MyTalk Mobile s web search and a picture of the package instantly appeared well photographed clean etc I just selected it and it worked great For teachers and speech pathologists you can have multiple sets of boards for multiple clients and copy and paste boards and sub boards Since boards are synced with a web based authoriing workspace you can replicate these boards on ANY iPhone or iPad simply by typing in a username and password For example a client can have access to their board on their i device and you can log in as them on your own iPad and instantly pull up their board It s pretty cool They ve really thought it through The responsiveness is great as soon as you press the picture you hear the sound and the picture blinks to give you visual feedback Downsides 1 When authoring new boards on the iPad seems slightly buggy when pasting cells it seems to create an endless loop But you quickly figure out workarounds but it seems like a lot of extra pointing and clicking 2 The web authoring environment is great in concept though it is quite pokey I find it faster to author on the iPad which is ironic because they created the web authoring environment to enable faster authoring                 Well conceived app dcn2012

I am a speech pathologist and use this app with a couple of my pts I love the affordability of this app the only complaint I have is that you can t delete and add cells on the iPad without changing the whole board The only way I ve found to delete and add cells without changing the board is using the online workspace however it cost more money every month Would continue to recommend this app for my pts if that could be fixed making it easier to modify boards without using workspace Some of my pts can barely afford the iPad plus app not including the added fee of workspace Can we get an update to make adding and deleting cells easier             A few kinks Lokiver

This is for my son who s 26 has autism and is noverbal He uses facilitated communication but only with a few people He was able to get himself past the stage of throwing his device or flipping it up into the facilitator s face so he has earned himself an ipad I only tried one other app before this one but it was much less expensive and didn t do very much This is really the perfect app for him He could locate and tap his pictures independently with no physical prompts No training was required he just jumped right in I love how you can keep adding layers to the conversation We use photos of his own possessions his own body and himself doing the different activities that he might request For menu items we use clipart from the actual restaurants Commercial entities cannot do this because of copyright restrictions that s why they end up with those infantile line drawings that the users hate so much Importing photos from the ipad photo album his facebook page and the restaurant websites was easy and fast You can get friends to add in the voice or use the synth voice that is already there I programmed everything in without having to go to a user manual even once that s how intuitive it is You people really did your homework                     wow what a great app KackyW

Love My Talk Its so user friendly you can customize to fit your needs an inexpensive option to allow your child be able to communicate successfully My son loves his My Talk too                     Love it angelboytucker
