Questions that lead here
Limitations and possible poor fit
- AAC fit is highly individual; a general-purpose app is not a substitute for communication assessment where specialist support is needed.
- Speech synthesis, languages, symbols and platform support vary; machine-translated content may require review.
Cost and access notes
- The software is open source under GPL-3.0; device, connectivity or platform costs can still apply.
Ownership and conflicts
- Cboard contributors develop the software; ND Oracle records the open-source project and does not claim it is the best AAC system for an individual.
