Cboard - AAC Communication Board for the Browser

Cboard is an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) web application, allowing users with speech and language impairments (autism, cerebral palsy) to communicate by symbols and text-to-speech.

The app uses the browser's Speech Synthesis API to generate speech when a symbol is clicked, there are 3400 symbols to choose from when creating a board. Cboard is available in 33 languages (support varies by platform - Android, iOS, Windows).
