The idea behind launchpad is that we want to be able to create a paper-based resource such as our core board but make it available in a variety of colours, fonts, languages, sizes, symbol sets.

Text to speech (TTS) is what is used to generate synthesised voice by a communication aid or any computer.
PowerBI is a tool we use to get insight into the data we have inside of BEST and other spreadsheets. It allows us to create dynamic graphs based on that data.
TextAloud is designed as a simple text-to-speech reading app. It allows users to read out text in their chosen voice. Users can choose to read out their text in different sections and add natural pauses, this is perfect for a client who might want to give a presentation and has it all typed out in a text document who wants to be able to play sentence by sentence. TextAloud also gives you access to voices in over 100 different languages so a user can effortlessly read text in multiple different languages. This is helpful for multilingual clients as we have voices in languages that other apps do not support.
