GoTalk Now: An AAC option that will reliably and easily include embedded video and music files when backing up and sharing a Communication Book. Rare sale on this app starts October 22, 2025.

If you are looking for an AAC option that will reliably and easily include videos and music files stored on that iPad that have been linked to play on a button then GoTalk Now is a tool that you should consider adding to your AAC toolkit.

Mark your calendar so you don’t miss their upcoming sale on October 22-29, 2025. It’s very rare for Attainment Company, Inc. to offer a sale. See the pricing history on AppRaven for GoTalk Now (https://appraven.net/app/1040142) & GoTalk Now Plus (https://appraven.net/app/4293360).

When you export a Communication Book from GoTalk Now (or GoTalk Now Plus) using the “Share Compressed Book” option it fully embeds and includes all videos, music files, recorded audio, photos, etc.. and reliably includes those when backing up and sharing.

That’s why I recommend GoTalk Now (or GoTalk Now Plus) as a supplemental tool in the AAC toolbox for those who will be using lots of video clips or music.

Note: The free GoTalk Now Lite and inexpensive GoTalk Start versions of this app do not have a way to backup or share.

Feel free to join my GoTalk Now AAC & GoVisual Visual Scene Apps – Ideas and Sharing Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/GoTalkNowAACappGroup. There are now two staff from Attainment Company, Inc. in the group.

Be sure to answer the questions when requesting to join and if you invite folks to join be sure they answer the questions. That’s how I keep the group secure from spammers.

Free Type / ǝdλ⊥ Large Text Typing App with Flipped Dual Message Window & Spoken Content

Posted on by

Although the free Type / ǝdλ⊥ app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/type-%C7%9Dd%CE%BB/id1020070997) hasn’t been updated in many years it currently works on my two iPad 8th gens on iOS 14.5 & iOS 15.4.1 and my iPhone 11 on iOS 14.8.

My guess is this app is the simplicity of this app has allowed it to continue to work without being updated.

I’m sharing it as something that is helpful when you need large text and a dual message window. It is easy to change the size of the text by pinching in/out on the message window.

It could be a good option for AAC users who want something simple to use on their iPhone or iPad and prefer not to have voice output.

But you could enable a voice to have the text spoken by having the following toggled on in the device Settings (gray gear): Accessibility – Spoken Content – Speak Selection. This section is also where you can choose an iOS voice, adjust the rate of speech, have text highlighted when spoken, edit pronunciations, etc.
