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.

Posted on by

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.
