I don't know what your family's needs are specifically, but there are several fantastic Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tools out there that are open source and in active development. The community is very friendly and they always welcome help from experienced software engineers. I personally contribute to Cboard (https://www.cboard.io https://www.cboard.io) and a few others but check out the OpenAAC website (https://www.openaac.org https://www.openaac.org) for additional resources :-)
- kraig911 5y agoYeah I'm thinking of contributing to and taking from Cboard. Basically I want to great an interface that uses the symbols to help a kid not just interact with peers to talk to them but also say write and send a note.
- weeb 5y agoYou might also want to look at other apps that use the OpenBoardFormat: https://www.openboardformat.org/partners https://www.openboardformat.org/partners I contribute to Optikey and was involved in OpenVoiceFactory in its first incarnation. Optikey is primarily QWERTY based but does supported the Communikate pagesets - more general OBF support would be a welcome PR! Coughdrop is probably a better fit for your needs, and is open source so free to self-host, though they do offer hosted plans for $. https://github.com/CoughDrop/coughdrop https://github.com/CoughDrop/coughdrop
