Amy,

Can you clarify to those people like me who don’t have a droid yet and don’t know much about them. (call me the dark ages assistive tech person)

 

So, I go to Best Buy and buy a Samsung tablet, download the communication app.  Is there an external part I need to make the droid hands free?  Or can I simply plug a switch into the USB port?

 

I know, I need hand holding here J  But exact info will help me assemble what I need and try it out.

 

Thanks,

 

Alisa

Hi-

I was wondering, what AAC Apps for Android are you using for your clients with ALS/ literate adults?

 

(Amy, you had mentioned used the SVOX speech synthesizer, but are you using it in conjunction with some other AAC interface?)

 

Thanks for your help with this!

 

Margaret
