Improv

Product Description: 

Improv is an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) software that gives users opportunities for impromptu conversations and is designed for individuals who are non-verbal but have some literacy skills and beginning concepts of letters.

Main Features: 

• Improv aims to increase a user’s independence and the ability to socially interact to connect with teachers, friends, and family members on a more personal level.
• Each time a person communicates with Improv, the software automatically learns the new words and statements communicated through the device. Those learned words and phrases are called up quickly in future conversations. 
• Using alphabetic input (text), Improv does not limit the user to symbols. While alphabetic input is typically slower and requires a high level of literacy, Improv leverages the Co:Writer word prediction engine to speed up communication. Users simply tap out a few letters of a word and Co:Writer expands their thoughts into complete phrases and sentences; then Improv reads it aloud.
• Instant Topic Dictionaries build new vocabulary on most topics like a book, band, restaurant, or vacation spot.
• With Phrase Prediction, users can communicate in sentences with a touchscreen.
• Phrases are saved in lists and can be scheduled around daily activities, school classes, field trips, or doctor visits. 
• Improv’s software ‘brain’ learns the user’s communication style and auto-adapts its dictionaries for future communication.

Primary Specifications: 

• Compatible with any Windows-based computer, tablet, or dedicated AAC device.
