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 a Flutter Text-To-Speech package to generate speech when a symbol is clicked, there are thousands of symbols from the most popular AAC symbol libraries to choose from when creating a board. Cboard is available in 40 languages, and now is available as a Flutter native mobile application (for Android and iOS).
