Go Talk does a nice job in this area but another one is Sounding Board by Ablenet which is free. I feel that GoTalk has more options and you can do a few nice
things with it like bring in music to a button or a short video clip. However for free SoundingBoard is quite good to start. The one issue I always have (with those offering digitized and auditory cues) is the auditory prompt transitions as sometimes it
is still prompting and you are on the next message. With SoundingBoard the prompt cannot be longer or the same as the message. Not sure about it on GoTalk. We do use them both with our auditory scanners but tend to use GoTalk somewhat more.

Hello all - forgive the cross posting.
I am looking for a device that does the following:
- simple scanning device - max 8 locations
- will play simple message - ok to be recorded speech - "I'm hot" "I'm cold" etc
The user is blind and cognitively impaired, so I am looking for a device that would say the message as it goes through the scanning - not just beeps.
Does this exist?
Sincerely,
