Scene Speak

The alphabet doesn't come up, you can't add texts or recordings to the hotspots... It looks like a lite app.

I cannot get the alphabet keyboard to come up. Only the number and emoji keyboards are available.

I'm the parent of two children with special needs, and originally, I purchased this app for my 5 year old, who is diagnosed with Autism and Apraxia, to help him learn to use assistive technology to navigate in everyday settings. However, I've found that it's not only great for functional usage (at a fraction of the cost of apps out there that have far fewer features) but I can make detailed and personalized interactive storybooks within this app that can include my child in his favorite stories (or make up my own using personal photos). We absolutely love this app, and would recommend it to ANY parent of a small child who wishes to make creative and interactive books, as well as any individual who might have limited verbal skills. GREAT app...thank you again, Good Karma!

Having recently heard a presentation on research showing the benefits of Visual Scene Display AAC with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers (and for older kids who are functioning at that level), I was happy to find this reasonably priced app. I have found it easy to use. There are options to use your own photos or use an Internet search to find images. Images can be arranged into books. I took photos from a book and made interactive scenes for my non verbal students-- much more engaging than a traditional gridded AAC display! I am an SLP but I think this app would also be useful for special Ed teachers and parents of non-verbal and low verbal children and for professionals working in early intervention.

I'm an SLP who uses this app in conjunction with medical staff for pain management in adults with ID. I'm currently using it on approximately 15 iPads. Following recent updates, all of my installations are broken. My sound areas are gone, my library has been cleared, and the app won't let me create new VSDs. The only thing that has fixed it is to delete the app & reinstall it, then totally reprogram it. This would be FAR easier and less time consuming if the iCloud backup actually worked, but I haven't been able to do anything with it other than lock up the app. The app used to be solid (if time-intensive to program), but the face that an update wiped all of my data and that the iCloud backup doesn't work seems absurd to me. Maybe I'm the only person having this issue, but v2.01 has been nothing but a huge headache for me. I hope that the issues I've had are going to be resolved. Until then I'll be desperately trying to reprogram as fast as possible to keep the iPads available for pain management.

Great App

Thanks Good Karma for coming up with another awesome app.

Another great Good Karma application. The versality is awesome, it it is easy to use and customizable. My daughter spends way to much time at the doctor's office so this is her favorite room.

I love this app and found it wasn't hard to figure out the ends and outs of the app. But if you don't have wireless take the email address or web address and you can contact them via internet from a computer or laptop. There's always more than one way to reach someone if you really need the help. :-) You will find that the developer is most happy to help and also listens to their customers suggestions and ideas as well. I do know that manuals are in the works but in the mean time send an email with your questions and you will receive any help you need.

This needs in app directions. The (I) info only takes you to the website and most my schools are not wireless. Directions on the website are not accurate and going between a project and online directions I lost my project. The directions to take pictures from google images did not work, I was not able to select full size nor save them to my scenes. Unless I missed it in the poor directions there appears to be no finished sample boards so I pay 9.99 and I need to put in a fair amount of time to create something before I can even get started with this. The concept is awesome, I want to take pictures and create personalized scenes but I cannot get one scene completed after more than an hour of messin around with this. For 9.99 I expect much more for money.scenes.
