AlphaTopics AAC app to improve communication for slurred speech

A new article has been published at prMac.

AlphaTopics AAC app to improve communication for slurred speech - Published on 02/23/15

Vancouver based Tactus Therapy Solutions today introduces AlphaTopics 1.0 for iOS, a brand new app to help people with speech impairments communicate more efficiently and effectively. AlphaTopics is an augmentative communication app for people with unclear speech & language difficulties from different conditions. Using an evidence-based communication board combining letters & topics, slurred or unclear speakers can help their listeners understand them while using their remaining natural speech.

Vancouver, Canada - Tactus Therapy Solutions, a trusted developer of apps for speech therapy rehabilitation, has just launched a brand new app called AlphaTopics. AlphaTopics is an augmentative communication (AAC) app aimed at people with slurred or unclear speech (dysarthria) and language difficulties (aphasia) from stroke, traumatic brain injury, ALS, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy.

The app works by bringing an alphabet board and a topic board together in one application with all the benefits of technology: sound, visual feedback, adaptable settings, and portability. The speaker simply touches the topic they want to talk about, and then touches the first letter of each word they say. AlphaTopics lets the person with unclear speech speak naturally while giving the conversation partner enough context to understand better. With AlphaTopics, there's no more spelling out whole words or fixing typos. And, less waiting for the listener means the conversation keeps moving along.

Pointing to the first letter of each word not only gives the listener more information about the word, it also encourages the speaker to slow down and separate words, actually making each word clearer. Intelligibility of sentences is reported to improve 25% on average when using an alphabet board. Pointing to the topic before speaking narrows the range of possibilities for the listener, providing context. Studies show that using a topic cue increases word understanding by an average of 28%.

With AlphaTopics, the listener can hear the letters or topic selected. This means they can stay focused on the speaker and the conversation instead of staring at the device. Communication is faster and clearer using this simple speech supplementation strategy. Previously, people with speech difficulties had to rely on paper-based boards that easily became ratty and worn out. Now, with AlphaTopics, the functionality of both an alphabet board and a topic board are always available on an iPhone or iPad in one convenient and customizable app.

The features of the alphabet board include:
* 26 letters in alphabetical order or 2 variations of frequency order
* 10 single digits to express any number
* Vowels are highlighted and aligned for faster navigation
* Natural speech reads out the name of each letter, number, or word
* Yes, no, question, smiley, space, and backspace buttons

The features of the topic board include:
* Fully customizable text that can be can re-ordered
* Voice output with adjustable speech rate
* Two sizes of grid to display 12 or 24 topics
* Pre-filled with functional topics for adults

Additional features include adjustable settings for visual, physical, language and cognitive impairments; a choice of four color schemes; and the option to pick which board comes up when the app starts.

AlphaTopics AAC was developed in a live event, with a blog chronicling each step of the process.

AlphaTopics is the fourteenth app developed by Tactus Therapy Solutions to support people who have difficulty communicating ideas with others. Tactus Therapy is proud to add AlphaTopics as their first AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) app to their line-up of existing therapy apps, serving people of all ages with communication disorders.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 2.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
As a special introductory offer, AlphaTopics 1.0 is priced at $2.99 USD throughout February and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Medical category. In March the price will revert to the regular value price of $4.99 USD.

OftenType for iOS8 - Custom Quick Keys Help Avoid Repeated Typing

A new article has been published at prMac.

OftenType for iOS8 - Custom Quick Keys Help Avoid Repeated Typing - Published on 02/23/15

Entrepreneur and independent developer Artem Pochepetskyi has released OftenType 1.0.1, an update to his keyboard application for iOS8. Developed by a small group of independent developers, OftenType allows anyone to expand their default keyboard with custom quick keys for frequently used texts. To avoid repetitive typing, users can easily setup special keys for e-mail, surname, address and more. Version 1.0.1 introduces new visual improvements and fixes minor bugs.

Kyiv, Ukraine - Entrepreneur and independent developer Artem Pochepetskyi is proud to announce the release of OftenType 1.0.1, an update to his keyboard application for iOS8. Developed by a small group of independent developers, OftenType allows anyone to expand their default keyboard with custom quick keys for frequently used texts. To avoid repetitive typing, users can easily setup special keys for e-mail, surname, address and more.

"Unlike alternative custom keyboard players that came from Android, from the start we considered iOS as our main environment and had done our best to enhance native iOS feeling for users of our extension. We think that typing experience in the iPhone is great and there is no need to replace the native keyboard," said Artem Pochepetsky, OftenType Founder. "But there are some ways to expand it and make a little better. OftenType can surely do this. The idea came up a year ago when I was researching apps. After signing in tones of apps I wished there was one button to insert e-mail. No news on 3rd party keyboards were available at that time. Then I went deeper in the topic and was sure that custom keyboards in iOS should be available to 8th or 9th update. I decided to take the risk investing my time and money in the development. And in Spring 2014 Apple announced keyboard extensions in iOS newest update."

The first release offers such features: unlimited key quantity; extensions to store up to 4 snippets in one key, secure data stored only on user's device, with a clear easy-to-use iOS8-style interface. Version 1.0.1 introduces new visual improvements and fixes minor bugs.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 8.1 or later
* 8.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
OftenType 1.0.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

Pomodoro Time 1.0 for Mac OS X - Time and Task Management Tool

A new article has been published at prMac.

Pomodoro Time 1.0 for Mac OS X - Time and Task Management Tool - Published on 02/23/15

XwaveSoft today introduces Pomodoro Time 1.0, the Mac version of their popular time management app for iPhone & iPad. Designed specifically to boost productivity by using the Pomodoro Technique. The app provides a mix of timeboxing, timed rest stops, task management, a goal completion list, and customized productivity analysis. View and compare weekly or monthly progress of total time spent on tasks to accurately adjust actions to be more efficient. The app syncs between Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Odessa, Ukraine - XwaveSoft today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Pomodoro Time 1.0, the Mac version of their popular time management tool for iPhone & iPad. Input tasks and manage progress using the Pomodoro Technique, a method of combining timeboxing with rewards to rest. Helpful tools such as alarm notifications, customized break options, and an overview of exercises per week make monitoring progress easier than ever and helps users stay focused, while enhancing productivity.

The Pomodoro Technique is based on the idea that individuals are more likely to produce results and complete activities with a break down of work into intervals of 25 minutes, separated by short breaks. Pomodoro Time allows users to customize task duration outside of the standard timeframe to fit individual needs, from 5 minutes to 60 minutes with customized breaks in between. After a few Pomodoros are complete, users may take longer breaks to revive focus and energy.

Pomodoro Time is great for anyone looking to chart and optimize time for executing tasks. The application allows users to view the amount of completed tasks versus projected tasks and the average duration it takes to complete assignments on a weekly basis. Users can compare success rates week to week with a graph that offers users a visual perspective of progress.

Perfect for personal errands, business projects, student assignments, educators, house chores, health and fitness routines, or just about any responsibility that requires an assistant to help complete to-do lists. Essentially, Pomodoro Time offers a unique strategy to keep users' attention on the goal for longer periods of time without the common burn out. The idea is to hard-wire individuals to take short breaks in between tasks with longer breaks permitted after a few Pomodoros have been completed.

Professionals can use Pomodoro Time to allot timeframes for answering morning emails or toggling between projects for multi-tasking success. With strategic rest-stops, the app increases productivity by decreasing loss of focus. At a glance, users will see a timer displayed for the current task at hand and notifications will sound when an action is required. Users have the flexibility to start, pause, or skip the current Pomodoro and move onto another as priorities change throughout the day and users may need to toggle between tasks.

Feature Highlights:
* Manage time and tasks
* Track progress throughout the week, month or custom period
* Set and track targeted number of tasks to complete

Customize to maximize productivity:
* Pomodoro duration
* Short break duration
* Long break duration
* Number of Pomodoros between long breaks
* Target number of Pomodoros to complete per day
* Ability to start, pause, or skip Pomodoros
* Optional ticking sound
* Alarm sounds while app runs in the background
* Interactive notifications
* Option to launch at start-up
* Syncs between iPad, iPhone and Mac
* Also available for iPhone and iPad

Pomodoro Time launches at startup and continually runs in the background to let alarms sound so users will never miss a deadline. Users can sync OS X application across iPhone, iPad and Mac for an organized and succinct working environment. Pomodoro Time can be present wherever it is needed, allowing users to rest assure that responsibilities will not be forgotten.

The color scheme offers an optimistic view on daily time management by helping to reduce the mundane necessity of completing one's chores. The minimalistic interface reduces the frustrations of compiling to-do lists and several post-its, while breaking from a task to check the clock (then dwell on the clock... and so on). It also helps to keep users focused with a simple, but powerful display of the timer, which distracts users from wanting to take a few minutes to socialize or peruse the Web when faced with a tedious, but important job.

"When taxed with a project assignment, we noticed that people from all industries and personality types became anxious and counter-productive when faced with the notion of balancing many priorities with short deadlines," said Denys Yevenko, CEO/Founder of XwaveSoft. "our goal is to provide people with a powerful productivity tool, combining the Pomodoro Technique, to make time management a breeze. Ultimately, to re-train individuals to give their body and brain the needed rest to re-group and stay productive for longer periods of time."
