Today, AssistiveWare announced the availability of the 2.0 update of the Proloquo2Go App for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, taking mobile Symbol-based and Text to Speech communication to a whole new level.
Version 2.0 offers two completely new research-based vocabularies: Basic Communication for beginning communicators and Core Word for more advanced communicators using or developing their language skills.

Additionally, the update supports individuals with fine motor issues by offering paging buttons for those who cannot swipe.
To better serve its users, the new version also includes seven new Acapela Group voices, including an Australian English male voice and new American and British voices, some with emotive variants, which allow the user to speak with a neutral, happy or sad voice.
“When we set out to design version 2.0 of Proloquo2Go, we wanted to rethink the app interface in order to give users more powerful customization options, yet making it significantly easier to use,” said David Niemeijer, founder and CEO of AssistiveWare. “We’re eager to have people try it out and more easily communicate their wants, needs and thoughts.”
