About this app

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app designed to provide fast communication even with limited inputs. It allows writing sentences and speaking them aloud through speakers. Its virtual keyboard is optimized with word suggestions as you type. All of this can be used with scan selection and compatible external switches.

Free to use with the screen as a switch
*To control this app with external switches (USB and Bluetooth) please contact us on support@tix.life to get a license

Features:
- Word suggestions with text prediction available in English, Español, Portugês, Français, Italiano, Deutsch and Suomi (more to be released soon)
- Ready access to words answers YES and NO
- Voice any typed sentence with Android text to speech engine (it is usually possible to select different male and female voices tweaking the device's settings)
- Write with row-column scan selection
- The whole screen acts as a single touch sensitive switch in scan mode
- Scan speed configurable through switch action
- Type by direct touch at each key (with minimum hold time and without the need to lift the finger from the screen surface)
- Configurable touch hold time

Type with auto-scan:
⇒ Use switch as a control or touch anywhere on the screen
⇒ When the desired character is selected by the scanning bar, activate the switch (or touch screen)
⇒ When the sentence is ready, use the button 🔊 to vocalize it

Direct typing:
⇒ Touch directly on the keys you want to select
⇒ Hold the key to validate the selection after a configurable amount of time
⇒ No need to lift the finger from the screen between one key and the other. You can just swipe and stop on the desired key

The text predictor also accelerates with word suggestions based on thousands of formal and informal texts from the selected language. Moreover, TelepatiX enhances suggestions as you type and learns more vocabulary

The direct touch mode has a keyboard with large keys and avoids accidental touches with a timer. This method is recommended when you can select keys touching directly on the screen surface and provides faster typing

Tips:
1 - Select ⌫ to backspace (erase letters)
2 - Select ❌to erase entire words
3 - When scanning it is possible to repeat ⌫ e ❌before the next cycle begins
4 - To exit the keyboard, select❌ with an empty sentence
5 - Certify that your system is configured with the correct language for the text to speech engine to work properly

Made for general Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), including cases of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), stroke and others
