this week has become trouble shooting week

Hello,
      I am sorry i haven't been posting about my experiences however this week has been mostly trouble shooting. it is taking me a bit to get a handle on what albums i will need and things i may want to say during the day. this how ever has helped me realize just how much work goes into setting up and getting an AAC app to work properly. due to the fact i have spent this week trouble shooting i will be extending the testing period a whole week. so day one will officially start Monday. this should give me enough to to put the finishing touches on each album and maybe get some family members to help out with that.

 i also finally have a working laptop. this has actually made editing and setting up tap to talk much easier. I highly suggest anyone who is looking into getting or has just gotten a taptotalk subscription that they get access to a computer for setting up the albums. while you can set them up via safari on your i pad and I phone it is not as efficient as a computer and it takes a lot more time. I should also note you can not access or use the taptotalk designer on your smart phone at this time this is something i hope that changes in the future especially since the app is available for non iphone smart phones. again sorry for the delay and thank you so much for your patients.

First post on TaptoTalk set up

Hello,

      as you may know I will be doing my first testing session on an app known at TaptoTalk. Since my testing period had to be delayed due to medical issues I will have more time to set it up and get it ready for testing.  I plan to add a video demonstration of this soon..

    Tap to talk is an app you can purchase for free on the Ipaad, tablet, iPod touch, IPad mini kindle and androids/smart phones.  However the free app is very basic it comes with  a few basic starter albums with a pre recorded male voice. How ever you ca also download a few other free albums. Male starter, female starter, chicest, numbers and help me. Just to name a few. They also have learning albums for things such as learning arcs numbers and reading. These free albums are also available in Spanish.

In order to customize the app you will have to buy a subscription. You can  buy a one year which $99.95 or a life time which costs. $179.95 so round that up to 100 for. Year and 200 for a life time. They also have packages available for  agency's and pro for 2 or more children.

Once your Oder is complete and your account is set up you will receive an email with your log in information 

At first setting up the albums can be intimidating. It is a good Idea to use the start as a basic template  . I plan to be adding a video on editing the albums but for now here are some photos of what task to talk designer looks like,  as you will see I have already started making albums. Minutes below is a pictorial guide on album set up using the iPad. The one down side is the album set up needs to be done via the web and currently can not be done in app.
