Languages in Weave Chat AAC as of 1/10/25

Posted on December 17, 2024 by OMazing Kids

I updated my FREE handout “Voices Available for Different Languages in Weave Chat AAC on iOS, Android and Amazon Fire”: https://bit.ly/LanguagesAndVoices-WeaveChatAAC

As you will see the availability of voices varies greatly depending on the specific language and the platform (iOS, Android & Amazon Fire)

Weave Chat AAC is a totally FREE robust AAC app. https://www.weavechat.com

As of 1/10/25 Weave Chat AAC has the following languages:

English USA
English UK
English Australia
Azerbaijani
Dutch
German
Greek
Icelandic
Italian
Macedonian
Norwegian
Polish
Spanish (Spain)
Spanish (Latin American)
Tagalog (Filipino)
Vietnamese

Important Note: English has full grammar support. The remaining languages are initially released in “Alpha” phase (lacks grammar rules and language specific words). Weave Chat uses a group of native and fluent speakers of each language who volunteer to do the translation and localization to insure accuracy and cultural relevance. Each language will eventually have grammar support and language specific vocabulary added with Spanish being the first focus for completion.

If you are reading this post and are fluent in Haitian Creole please consider volunteering to help bring that language to Weave Chat AAC. The work is about 50% completed. There are currently no AAC options on any platform for Haitian Creole. I get pretty frequent messages from folks asking about options for that language and I done exhaustive searches several times and haven’t found anything.

Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated with the app developer. I just help spread the word about this app and help provide info about how to get voices on the various platforms to use in it. And I have in-depth info about the app in my various AAC feature matching resources.

How I hacked a NLR Fun Pepkoo 10.9” iPad 10th Generation (2022) case to work with an iPad Air 11” (M2) 2024 – updated 2/21/25

Posted on December 9, 2024 by OMazing Kids

I bought an iPad Air 11” (M2) 2024 specifically to be able to use any Apple Intelligence AI features that Apple rolls out and to be ready in case any AAC app developers find ways to incorporate it into their apps.

The downside of getting a brand new model of iPad is it is often awhile before there are lots of case options to choose from. See this blog post for more info about the Pepkoo case: https://bit.ly/iPadCasesPepkooAndMore.

I hope that NLR Fun eventually offers a Pepkoo case specifically for the iPad Air 11” (M2) 2024.

Until then I was glad to be able to hack their Pepkoo case for the iPad 10th gen well enough to meet my needs.

Updated 2/21/25: Great news! NLR Fun finally released a Pepkoo case specifically for the iPad Air 11” (M2) 2024. I bought it on Amazon and am glad that I did. It fits perfectly and allows the fingerprint ID button to work since it’s not as thick as the case that I had hacked.

https://a.co/d/fQ7saSF ($22.99, I got it on sale for $20.99)

Disclaimer: Use caution when using any tools. I knew I might run the risk of damaging the case when modifying it and worked on it very slowly and carefully. Obviously the iPad was removed from the case and placed in a safe location far away from where I was using tools. I am not liable for any outcomes that folks might have. Just sharing how I did this for my own personal use.

Links to items seen in my video (all items were available when I uploaded this on 12/8/24. I have no way to know about future availability and pricing or availability and pricing outside of the USA):
