Communicator 5

Communicator 5 is an AAC software offered by Tobii Dynavox. This is now my preferred platform for assisted speech. It can save phrases that show up in auto complete or that can be retrieved directly. I like the experience for conversations.

Description

Communicator is also easy to configure and customize. I have configured my home page to only show what I need. I have also customized some pages to add features and make them meet my needs. It is available on Windows 10/11 with PCEye or on Tobii Dynavox’s I-Series. My biggest concern is that Tobii Dynavox does not seem to be investing in Communicator.
