Check out the latest improvements to TouchChat®, LAMP Words for Life®, and Dialogue® AAC when you update your iOS apps to version 2.43.
There are several ways to customize head tracking in the settings menu including tracking speed, trigger action such as hover, cursor smoothing, and more. With app update 2.43, you’ll now have more options for hover time with head tracking. Choose the time that works best for you to access your vocabulary system.

Explore the new Engage for iOS file designed to help evaluators and consultants with assessments related to access needs. Available in SymbolStix (SS) and Picture Communication Symbols® (PCS), this new tool can help determine which vocabulary file and access settings work best for an individual.
You may notice a language addition in menu prompts. Within TouchChat, Canadian French translations have been added, so when you put your iOS device in Canadian French or European French, you will now see app menu prompts in Canadian French.
This is also a great opportunity to remind you of the 19th Biennial ISAAC Conference taking place July 24-27 in Cancún, Mexico. PRC-Saltillo is pleased to be part of an organization striving to make AAC available around the world.
