Professional guidance helps The app is simple to open and use if you can type, but it is only one part of a person's communication plan. Whether text-based AAC is the right choice, how the person will reach the screen, and how to build it into daily life all benefit from guidance from an SLP or AAC specialist. That makes professional help recommended rather than required.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

Proloquo4Text is an iOS app that speaks what you type, so someone who can't always use their voice can still say what they want. It predicts words and sentences from what you've typed to save time and effort, and keeps everything on a single screen. If you can write, you can use it, which makes it a fit for children, teens, and adults who read and spell well enough to type their messages.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    1. Download the app from the App Store onto your iOS device and open it.
    2. Type a message and have the app speak it aloud.
  • With a guide
    1. Explore the app's settings, such as the voice and speaking options, so it sounds and works the way the user wants.
    2. Set up any quick phrases the person will use often. Plan on about an hour to get comfortable. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    A speech-language pathologist (SLP) or AAC specialist can check that text-based AAC fits the person's reading and spelling skills and how they access the iPad. They can also help plan how it fits into daily communication, often over a few sessions.
