On proloquo, I can make a button text size go from 50%-120% which is not as much as I would like.
Touch chat allows me to go to 50 point font.
On a completely different route, if it supports images, what I have done in the past is to take a picture of the word at the appropriate size. So rather than typing in a caption or text on the button for "drink", I have taken a black magic marker on a piece of paper and written "drink" at the appropriate size and then use a picture of that for my symbol/image. I hope I am making sense there.
Obviously more of a hassle, but may be an option?

I’m looking for an iPad app for a patient of mine with ALS. He can still type and utilize a digital selection method. He does have vision trouble and has to increase text size to large and extra large on his iPad. I spoke to Gus Tech and the rep said that ProloQuo2go and EZSpeech do not allow for increased text sizes. Are you aware of another app for communication that allows the patient to increase font size?
