Assistive Technology & iMainGo

December 14, 2010

There have been countless new applications for the iPhone, iTouch & now iPad, but possibly one of the most life-changing in the field of assistive technology is Proloquo2go. Proloquo2go is a downloadable application that provides a full-featured communication program, designed to assist people with speaking disabilities. Proloquo2go allows people to type out what they want to say, and the iPhone/iTouch/iPad will repeat the sentences out loud. This is where iMainGo comes in, not only does it amplify the sound so the user can be heard in every day environments, but it also helps protect their device and the iMainGo’s heat sensitive window allows users to easily access their Proloquo2go app. To read more on Proloquo2go, click the following link which will redirect you to their website & informational page: About Proloquo2go
