TapToTalk is a piece of software developed in the USA for the Nintendo DS that gives a child or an adult with non-verbal communication a voice at the tap of a picture.

TapToTalk comes with a library of over 2000 pictures which the user can tap on onscreen to generate spoken sentences and phrases, such as “I would like a drink”. TapToTalk can be customised, so it is also possible to add your own personal pictures – photographs etc. – to make it even more relevant to the user and their communication needs, and very simple to use.

We have recently teamed up with TapToTalk, meaning that Widgit Symbols can now also be used in TapToTalk. This is a great opportunity for a Widgit Symbol user, or indeed someone who has never used Widgit Symbols before, to take their skills with symbols into verbal communication.

To use Widgit Symbols on tap to talk you will need to purchase Widgit's Metafile Collection and then import them onto your Tap To Talk device following the instructions on the Tap To Talk website.
