What is TiKL - Touch to Talk?

TiKL - Touch to Talk is an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) application designed for children and adults who have difficulty using their natural voice due to conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, or traumatic brain injury. The app allows nonverbal individuals to communicate their needs, thoughts, and ideas by touching buttons, images, and keywords on the screen which triggers a text-to-speech voice output.

Some key features of TiKL include:

• Customizable buttons, images, and scene displays for user preferences
• Text-to-speech voice output with natural sounding voices
• Word prediction to speed up communication
• Backup and syncing across devices
• Analytics to track usage and growth

By providing a way for nonverbal persons to have a voice, TiKL aims to foster social interaction, develop language skills, promote independence, and improve quality of life. The app can be used on iOS tablets and smartphones and has positive reviews from special education teachers and parents.
