Flexible uses for the Drawing Board in Fast AAC: Creating an Alphabet Board with a Handwriting Area

Flexible uses for the Drawing Board in Fast AAC: Creating an Alphabet Board with a Handwriting Area.

In this new video I show how to find the settings for the Toolbar and the flexibility of the design with individual components that can be toggled on/off. You’ll see how I created an Alphabet Board with a small Drawing Board with handwriting paper imported as the background.

Fast AAC is a well-designed robust AAC app that is very affordable and available for iOS and Android. The full iOS version is $12.99 (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fast-aac-school-clinic/id6753014026, 1 x purchase, prices may vary outside of the USA based on the exchange rate).

See my previous post for a more of a look at this app: https://omazingkidsllc.com/2026/10/05/fast-aac-1-day-0-99-app-sale-on-october-6-2026/. Note: The app developer is adding new features rapidly so there are new options since I recorded that video less than a month ago.

See their website for more information: https://fastaac.com

Updated this blog post on 8/12/23: That Android phone is still available on Amazon and is even a little less expensive now ($49.88). The case is still also available and is less expensive ($11.99). If you put the free Android version of Weave Chat AAC on it (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weavechat.weavechat) you can have fairly robust pocket-sized symbol-based AAC for under $62 (+tax). The adult text-to-speech voices from Samsung & Google are pretty good. If you want Acapela voices, the Weave Chat AAC app and a few others allow use of the one you have purchased and set as a default within the Acapela app. That would be a way to add high quality child voices. Prices vary. I just purchased the child African American English voices (Tiana and Malik) for $7.99 each. The great thing is you only have to purchase the Acapela voices once and then can use them in any AAC app that supports use of them. I have previously purchased Ella & Josh (USA English) + Valeria & Emilio (USA Spanish). That app has voices available to purchase in several languages.

So for under $70 (+tax) you can have fairly robust pocket-sized symbol-based AAC with Weave Chat AAC using a high quality Acapela voice.
