#Touchchat aac with wordpower update#

Update 4/25/22: There’s a setting in GoTalk Now to toggle on “Hide All Images” that creates a text only setup So deleting and reinstalling the app seems to have resolved the issue. Good news though… I just tried the Hide All Icons and now I’m not having the glitch anymore. So I didn’t have any way to know what the combination of settings were that caused it or if it was an odd glitch that might have happened when I downloaded the most recent app update.

I had already deleted and reinstalled the TouchChat with WordPower app on my iPad. Update about the TouchChat glitch (5/2/22): I heard back from TouchChat Support and they asked for a picture of all of my settings in the app since they hadn’t been able to replicate the issue. I’ll be including this caution when folks ask me about using a text-only setup in this app until the app developer fixes the glitch. So I backed up all of my customized Vocab Files, deleted the app, reinstalled the app and imported all of my Vocab Files. I tried a Forced Restart but it didn’t resolve the issue. When I tried to toggle back on the icons that toggle button would not work. I had toggled off “Show Icons” to demo a text only setup. **** Important TouchChat Info (4/29/22): I just encountered a glitch with the TouchChat with WordPower app (version 2.36.0). The pros to doing this are having access to the age-appropriate vocabulary and age-appropriate voices.Īll 4 of these apps have a keyboard area and 3 of them can access the iOS keyboard. There are time stamps so you can jump to each app. This video shows how you can adjust the settings in 4 symbol-based AAC apps to turn them into a text-based set up. I had several patients like that on my caseload who preferred not to have symbols but the true text-based AAC apps didn’t have the vocabulary or age-appropriate voices that they needed. I’ve seen several posts recently from pediatric SLPs looking for text-based AAC options for pretty young children.
