The iPad is many different things to many different people, but a communication aid? It is now with TBox Apps’ Scene & Heard. Together, Scene & Heard and the iPad deliver the most powerful visual scene display communication aid by transforming personalized photos, video, audio, and included symbols into customized interactive Communication Scenes.
Expanding on existing approaches such as symbol and grid based communication; Scene & Heard was developed and designed specifically for the iPad’s most advanced mobile operating system. The iPad provides an engaging, fun, and affordable, alternative to existing communication devices. Embraced and endorsed by the AAC community worldwide, the iPad, is a essential tool advancing augmented communication possibilities and is rapidly becoming the device of choice assisting anyone with communication needs.
Current iOS based AAC options have not reached the potential that Context based communication is capable of achieving, by providing generic, static, and limited personalization capabilities. In addition, existing Visual Scene Display apps have not used all that the iPad offers, until now. Scene & Heard is the first AAC application that fully utilizes all that the iPad offers, and is the most feature-rich, AAC app on available on the iOS platform.
TBox Apps—a leader in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technologies—developed Scene & Heard to encourage social interaction amongst children and adults with communication needs. It provides an elegant yet easy and effective method of communicating using more than just a simple, symbol-based grid. Scene & Heard takes using a Visual Scene Display, a communication approach which uses context to aid with learning and communicating. On the iPad, photos, image, videos, text and audio transform from traditional static, communication pieces into interactive communication scenes.
Users, caregivers, teachers, parents, educators, and anyone can create personalized scenes with photos, text, audio, video, preloaded symbol library, tagged with own content and saved in easy to access collections. Scenes can be used for more than communication and can be used to organize the individual throughout the day. The iPad’s slim elegance and affordability factor promotes mobility, and positive attention not the stigma that may be associated with existing clunky devices.
The iPad display size gives users the freedom to simply tap, drag, drop, and swipe to navigate, build, and customize personalized scenes to communicate in a way that is meaningful and personal. Scene & Heard builds upon and includes the common picture and text based communication aids by including in the application a pre-loaded symbol library of over 12k choices from industry favorite, Widgit Software Scene & Heard, and the iPad’s incredibly easy to use, familiar and intuitive interface work in tandem to provide a tap anywhere atmosphere.
Tapping this app gives special-needs users a voice and so much more. The app picks up where others left off, with common grid based scene building and so much more.
Scene & Heard for iPad is available now for $49.99.
