NOTE: MetaTalkLite refers to an older version of MetaTalkDE and is in the store for previous users only. An update is pending.
MetaTalkLite has the full vocabulary and functions of our MetaTalk apps but DOES NOT provide any speech or audio output. Use MetaTalkLite to assess the quality of our artwork, the vocabulary and language structure, and ease of use. Contains both US-English (MetaTalk) and German (MetaTalkDE).
MetaTalkLite is a symbol-based application for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). It allows users without or with limited voice capabilities to communicate. MetaTalkLite is preconfigured with a rich vocabulary - you can start immediately. Individual customizations are easy and always possible.
MetaTalkLite is based on METACOM symbols which are known for their clarity and professional design. A simple structure allows beginners - and relatives without special AAC training - to learn and grow over time.
