About PECSTalk™

Designed specifically for use on Android device smartphone devices. Optimal performance on smaller screens such as smartphones not guaranteed.

PECSTalk™ is an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) application used by individuals with complex communication needs, including those on the autism spectrum. Designed by the developers of the evidence-based Image Exchange Communication System® (PECS®), this high-tech option is customizable and simple to use! With access to the full Pics for PECS library, multiple voice output options, and multiple languages, the PECSTalk™ application can be individualized for your learner’s needs.

With PECSTalk™, users can construct a multi-picture Sentence Strip™ via a dedicated Sentence Starter™ page and make up to 30 digital PECS book pages for the in-app voice to speak. The digital display is similar in layout to a traditional PECS Communication Book while accommodating the more robust vocabulary of a Speech Generating Device (SGD).

The PECSTalk™ application can be used to create requests, answer to questions, comment and ask questions. By converting images and text into spoken language, the PECSTalk™ application empowers non-speaking learners to fully participate in their school, home, vocational, and community settings.

Languages Available: English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish
