How important is the ability to communicate? As important as it gets might say it all.

For many individuals verbal communication is not a possibility. The causes are many and there are many more people in our society than one would expect who can not verbally communicate.

There are lots of causes ranging from trauma to ventilator dependency and congenital causes to stroke.

Purpose specific assistive technology or in this case augmentative communication devices have been available for many years and can cost thousands of dollars. In many cases the technology is heavily layered and often requires a good deal of training. Just as often a consumer pays for layers of technology that will never be used.

OneVoice is an iPhone and iPad app that turns your device into an augmented communication device. It breaks with the traditional complexities and with the traditional dedicated platform. Platformed on iPhone and iPad, The OneVoice app is purpose built to do less.

Nathan Barry, the developer of OneVoice is very outspoken on the issue of doing less:

“OneVoice does less than most augmented communication devices. Why? Because making it easy to use is far more important than making sure it has every possible feature.”

Here are a few of the OneVoice features:

1- OneVoice is ready to use right away. No need to setup or configure anything. Though to get the most out of it you will want to personalize the vocabulary.
2- Easy to follow on-screen instructions.
3- Images actually look like real-life objects, rather than abstract stick figures.
4- The settings popover allows you to customize voice speed and choose between four high quality voices.
5- Add new categories, then create phrases within any category.
