Touchphrase

Touchphrase is an advanced picture communication solution designed for individuals on
the autism spectrum and any others who are non-verbal and could benefit from a
flexible AAC device. It combines an intuitive interface, extensive customization
options, and a painless expansion system for quickly creating your own content. For
convenience, the app arrives with basic categories and pictures already set up, providing
instant functionality.

Touchphrase was made using a purpose-built user interface that allows fast, reliable construction
of both short phrases and full sentences. The option is provided to seamlessly mix synthesized
speech with recorded audio in a given sentence. Please note that the interface is optimized
for tablets but also looks great on larger smartphone screens.

The core aim of this project was to make it accessible, customizable, and expandable.
See an image somewhere that you like? In only 30 seconds you can snap it, crop it, label it,
and place it on a page. Have an entire image set that you want to use? Just paste it into the
"Touchphrase Images" folder and it will be available for editing and placement within the app.
The thumbnail browser ensures you will never have to assign or remember a single file name!

Personalize the look of the application whether for style or function; change the picture size,
page icons & colors, image borders, and fonts. You can even edit the built-in picture text to
adapt meanings for your own use. Over 300 picture cards are included at this time, with all future
picture packs included as updates.
