14th May 2024

It’s time to update your iOS AAC apps to version 2.48 so you can experience all that’s new with TouchChat®, LAMP Words for Life®, and Dialogue® AAC! To improve the quality of your app experience, this update now allows PRC-Saltillo to gain insights into user app settings. All data is collected anonymously (without information to identify you personally) to guarantee user privacy. For example, this new feature will obtain metrics for access methods and synthesised voice use. In addition, PRC-Saltillo cannot access the words communicated on the app. The choice to opt out will be available at any time through the settings menu.

Personalised voice option reminder

All three AAC apps have the option to use a personal voice. Create your unique voice through The Voice Keeper™ at no charge as a Liberator customer. Check out their recently updated app that simplifies the voice creation process. Another option is to make a personal voice with Apple’s synthesised voice option available for devices with iOS 17.

Classic TouchChat retirement reminder

Our CLASSIC TouchChat apps (Classic TouchChat with WordPower®, Classic TouchChat, and Classic TouchChat Lite) will be retired early May 2024. View the list of frequently asked questions to learn more.
