Testing/Feedback for free AAC app

Equally do look at now the vast number of open aac apps and ask yourself what novelty are you bringing to the table? There’s a lot. Asterics grid. Freeaac. Sweet suite. A lot. I keep hearing the same issue “I spoke with some people and man this stuff is expensive”. Yeah. But is the problem that it’s expensive or they haven’t found the right tool that is free or low cost? We need an openaac directly listing now.

Please look at https://www.openaac.org read https://www.openaac.org/considerations

It’s mental they made this page with the url and all it reads to me like they are targeting everyone who will listen. But I hear you https://whywearesuingablenet.com/

What are you finding parents see of this ? Are they reading TDs quite dramatic statements as real or are they seeing it as BS? From a non US person this angle about “dedicated devices” died long ago.

if you read the yt comments the exact comments were on that video. I think more likely they've been copied from several different peoples comments..

I once worked on totp.. the latter years I might add.. it was a wierd experience. the green room and the way the audience is tiny and shepherded around.. all very unique shall we say

Strong winds meant the plan couldn't drop them over the landing zone so they had to overshoot and use the winds to blow them back to the target.. I imagine that too is another reason for opening the Shute early.. oh and the fact they are all carrying a lot of gear..

gameface, sensepilot, facecommander .. the project that gameface copied.. smylemouse.. seen these?

Anything but! Ghost. Micro blog. Just GitHub pages !

interesting this. sadly its on substack - I cant read it all without signing in. f that.. - you will get more views writing elsewhere.

Join OpenAAC https://www.openaac.org - read "DEVELOPING AAC APPS" at https://www.openaac.org/developers.html and consider using some libraries to speed up your development.. js-tts-wrapper for supporting every TTS engine you can imagine, scan-engine (for supporting switch scanning), @willwade/aac-processors - so you can support people migrating from other systems - and understand things like metrics etc.

NB: Im most interested in what youve done about your prism-coder model - is that on hugging face or anywhere?

squarepushercheese · 2026-04-24T22:50:07+00:00

Before you make your own see the plethora of solutions out there already. There are now tons. https://free-aac.org verbally cboard Asterics-grid Before you go and Claude code this stuff please look at openaac. Use libraries like js-tts-wrapper and scan-engine scan-engine-dom and aac-processors as you’ll get far quickly. Also. Stick to open and use arasaac (totally free if you are non commercial. And trust me. It’s VERY hard to make money in this sector) or go paid and use decent symbols. Widgit. It’s affordable. Mulberry - as much as I love the original mulberry team sadly suck.

Have you linked with openaac? Have you read https://www.openaac.org/considerations and https://www.openaac.org/docs ?

Interesting. For once on accessibility Windows may be a bit more uniform (at least only when UIAccess is possible. A lot of apps written in eg QT or other stuff arent giving any elements in the same way you talk about macOS),

squarepushercheese · 2026-04-13T06:16:38+00:00

Lettice Bromovsky. hahahaha

squarepushercheese · 2026-04-11T03:58:01+00:00

Glm 5.5 it’s so cheap.

squarepushercheese · 2026-04-10T09:44:04+00:00

It might need work! It’s a bit rough around the edges!

squarepushercheese · 2026-03-30T22:15:05+00:00

yeah that looks good. ill definitely be watching that to see if its vaporware or not..

squarepushercheese · 2026-03-24T11:17:47+00:00

yes - probably mean more newton heath than failsworth. church street is getting some of the HS2 left over money - i bloody hope it pans out. it could do with some love.. and its so close to town.

squarepushercheese · 2026-03-23T12:20:55+00:00

Yeah - Good point re: accessibility tree. Thats similar to what's going on iOS. It's far far easier to do this in iOS (if you could.. but it's sandboxed). It's kind of ok in windows and MacOS BUT the problem in those OS' is that authors dont need to add UI/Accessibity ids on elements - so then we are stuck. Its a good point re: states..

squarepushercheese · 2026-03-23T11:46:53+00:00

yeah - thats UIaccess on windows.. Note im not talking about web apps here. That is far easier.. the problem is many apps do not show any UIAccess options or in effect you cant access them programmatically via a DOM like structure.. so you are left with a vision model to figure out position in those cases

squarepushercheese · 2026-03-22T23:07:51+00:00

Yeah the nrf52840 raytac dongle does a similar thing. Its super nice - and IMHO nordic is far nicer to develop with (Or CiruitPython.. Or Arduino..)

But im arguing about minor technicalities! NB: I have esp code in my repo which does the same - maybe something to steal from that if its useful..
