I've had a brief look at it and we have one ordered but it seems to be stuck in the post for some reason. It looks very nice, uses symbolstix symbols. Only slight problem is volume, but we've got a nice case/speaker combination called iMainGo 2 which works very well.

Subject: Re: ipod touch as hand held communication aid [Scanned][Spam score:8%]
Has anyone any experience of Proloquo2go from www.therapybox.co.uk,
which runs on an iphone or ipod touch and offers text or symbol
selection and spoken word output?
It seems much cheaper than a dedicated comm. aid .....
I am going to suggest my patient (with tracheostomy, deafness, ataxia &
limited visual field) try an ipod with an onscreen keyboard to type
messages with her thumb/finger for others to read, and for her to read
emails & text: it is small enough for her to hold a few inches from her
nose....
Any thoughts/experience?
