In their own words
SymboTalk
SymboTalk is an augmentative and alternative communication system in which people select symbols on boards to communicate. Selecting symbols can produce spoken output and add words to a sentence that can also be spoken. Users can create symbols or choose from an online library of more than 60,000 images, including ARASAAC, Mulberry, and Sclera symbols. Boards support sub-boards and multiple grid options. Profiles let editors configure boards for users, who can use a limited-access “me” mode. The service is available on Android and the web, and the Android app supports full offline use. Core app features are free; cloud sharing, synchronization, and backup are paid features. The app listing describes a ChatGPT integration and an AI Assistant that can generate full boards. Google Play reports the developer declares no data shared with third parties, but says the app may collect personal information, app information and performance, and device or other IDs. It also reports that data is not encrypted and cannot be deleted.
