A Symbol based Calendar for people with autism, dyspraxia, and cerebral palsy
For your Phone or Tablet the Symbol Calendar Communicator provides a day/week/monthly calendar for people with autism, aphasia,
dysarthria, dyspraxia, and cerebral palsy where symbols, photos and text are spoken reminders of events, tasks or appointments.
The Symbol Communicator automatically tracks the current date and allows you to move through the months by simply touching the month name. New entries are added by touching the chosen day which displays pages of symbols and photos. On choosing one of these descriptive symbols, the display changes to allow for entry of the time. After setting the required time, the Symbol Communicator returns to the calendar where the event appears.
On touching a day event symbol the event will be voiced by name, date and time. Touching the event a second time changes the display from month to week and further entries can be added for the same day. The day becomes highlighted indicating additional day events.
To use a photo as a symbol simply select the photo symbol and all of your photos in your gallery will be offered, select the one you want, enter the voicing text and rotate as required. Select the star symbol to make a voicing event of your choice.
A Menu button is provided in the top right corner for deletion of the events and control of Speech.
Important: ensure that text to speech is turned on in the Settings menu. Select the voice gender from within the selected TTS voice settings.
