Pip

Every AAC app is customizable. Pip is the one you'll actually customize.

He asked for Jack-in-the-box. It was on his board before snack time, with a picture that matches every other one, and nobody took his iPad away to do it.

See how

"Customizable" usually means an evening of chores.

Adding one word, in most AAC apps
  1. Take the iPad away from your child.
  2. Find edit mode. Find an empty button.
  3. Type the label.
  4. Search the symbol library. No jack-in-the-box.
  5. Find the toy. Take a photo. Crop it.
  6. Pick a color. Save.
  7. Hand the iPad back. Hope he's still interested.

On your laptop, your phone, or any browser. Pip draws the picture in the same style as the rest of his board and gives it the right color. His iPad has it the same day.

One Thursday

Before snack time.

  1. A note from school: Theo keeps pointing at the jack-in-the-box on the shelf. His board has toy. He doesn't want a toy.

  2. On her lunch break, Mom opens Pip on her laptop and types jack in the box. Pip draws it. She never went near his iPad.

  3. At school, it's on his board. He taps it, and Pip says "jack in the box." His teacher hands it over.

That evening, Dad points out that Theo's has a puppy, not a clown. He types four words, and Pip draws it again. It changes everywhere the word lives, including Play, where Theo's teacher had added it that afternoon.

Pip's voice for words you type comes with Pip Lifetime. On the free plan, say it once in your own voice.

One word in two groups. Change it once.

Both pictures on this page were drawn by Pip from these words. Nobody touched them up.

Easy isn't a feature. It's every step you skip.

No photo needed.

Pip draws any word in the same calm style as the rest of the board, so it looks like it was always there. Photos are still there for the faces that need one: Grandma should look like Grandma.

Never take the iPad away.

Add words from your laptop, your phone, any browser. Your child keeps talking while you work. Same rule as modeling: the iPad stays theirs.

One word, everywhere it lives.

Put Jack-in-the-box in Play and in My Words, and it's still one word. Change its picture or how it sounds once, and it changes everywhere.

For speech therapists

Fringe vocabulary in one paste.

Paste the list from the intake form or the family's email. Every word gets a picture in the board's style (people and pets wait for a photo), and the family's iPad has them the same day. You do it from your laptop, between sessions, not on the child's device during one.
