What SymboTalk is
SymboTalk is an augmentative and alternative communication system for people who communicate by selecting symbols on boards. Choosing symbols can produce spoken output and build a sentence that can also be read aloud. Users can create symbols or select images from an online library of more than 60,000 images, including ARASAAC, Mulberry, and Sclera symbols.
Communication boards can be customized with sub-boards and different grid options. Editors can configure boards through profiles, while users can work in a limited-access “me” mode. SymboTalk is available on Android and the web, and the Android app supports offline use. Core app features are free; sharing, synchronization, and backup through cloud features are paid. The app listing also describes a ChatGPT integration and an AI Assistant that can generate full boards. Google Play reports that the developer declares no data shared with third parties, but the app may collect personal information, app information and performance, and device or other IDs; it also reports that data is not encrypted and cannot be deleted.
