There might not be one best AAC app, but do you have a favorite or one you see/use most often? I’d LOVE for you to try this and share your results in the comments!! Of course, the fastest AAC app isn’t going to do much if the AAC devices aren’t out and being used! Interesting, huh? Hope you found that fun as well! Slowest Overall: LAMP (might have been due to my own lack of familiarity)įastest Overall: Speak for Yourself (this was a surprise to me! In terms of speed, it’s the best AAC app I tried) Most Hits Overall: Speak For Yourself with 24 hits total (however most are just double taps so it doesn’t feel like that many!) I also noted that it took the most hits overall. 🙂 The app was a little laggy when I used it which definitely slowed me down. Sometimes in LAMP the main word you want is moved on the secondary screen which confuses my finger. I actually find the rhythm part of this app even better than LAMP as every word on the homepage is only a double tap away. It’s similar to LAMP in that you can get into a really nice rhythm with it. I have quite a bit of experience with it and really like how it works! The buttons are really small and that can’t be changed, but you can “hide” many of them making navigation easier.
The Speak for Yourself app is a standout for me. The last one was all on the homepage making it the fastest question of all time! I found “game” kind of hard to find as it was under “Fun” instead of “Things” off of the home page but other than that, everything was pretty intuitive.
The trickiest phrase to say was obviously the first. I liked that the numbers were comparable using this app even though there were less buttons on the homepage and they were a bit bigger than the other apps I tested. I haven’t used this app in a while but overall, it came back to me pretty quickly. Proloquo2Go – Intermediate Core Vocabulary, 7×7 Grid Most words are two hits away so it feels little more repetitive in a nice way. 🙂 Overall, I love this app! I think the motor memory aspect makes things as easy to find and there’s sooo many core vocabulary words on the main screen! I also love the rhythm you can get into. Note: I didn’t allow myself to use it during the actual speed test. I found the “Word Finder” part of the app extremely helpful several times while learning it/playing around. I should mention that I’m probably least familiar with this app compared to others.

LAMP Words for Life – LAMP 84 Full Vocabulary
This setup had the least number of overall hits needed to make the sentences which was interesting to note. I really do love how this vocabulary in particular is organized and the size of the buttons. Overall, I’m most familiar with this app and set up so I did expect myself to be fairly quick. The sentences I used on each app were as follows:īelow are my results: TouchChat WordPower – WordPower 60 Basic Vocabulary Then, on the second round, I timed myself. In order to make sure I knew where everything was (at least generally), I created each sentence first, untimed and counted the number of hits it took. Just for simplicity, I didn’t worry about punctuation.

It is just one measure of how easy it is to find vocabulary and I’m sure the results below vary depending on my familiarity with the app… although I did try to pick apps I know how to use fairly well. I thought the results were really interesting and wanted to share them! Please note that I totally understand this isn’t the most valid way to find the best AAC app. I timed myself to see how fast I could make the sentence (or as close as I could get). A while back, I did a speed test on myself using a few basic sentences. One thing I love doing when I check out a new, robust AAC app is to play around with it by creating simple sentences using a mix of both core and fringe vocabulary. What’s the best AAC app? There is no one-size-fits-all app and there are a lot of features that can make an app work well
