About Expressive Go
Expressive Go gives a voice to children and adults who don't use speech. Tap pictures to build a message and the app says it out loud, with grammar that helps the sentence come out right.
Every board, every tool and every setting is free. No ads, no subscriptions, no account.
GRAMMAR THAT HELPS
• Verbs follow the subject: "he eats", "she drinks", "they want"
• Time words set the tense: "yesterday" + "go" says "went", "tomorrow" + "go" says "will go"
• The Time button switches the next verb to past, future or perfect: "they went", "we will play", "she has eaten"
• "is" and "has" forms: "he is running", "we have finished"
• Plurals after numbers and quantifiers: "2 cookies", "many friends"
• "a" or "an" chosen by sound: "an hour", "a uniform"
• Adverbs after action words: "run slowly", "talk quietly"
• 150+ irregular verbs and nearly 2,000 action words and phrases
THE SAME BOARD AS AT THE PLAYGROUND
Smarty Symbols communication boards are installed in more than 650 communities: school playgrounds, city parks, libraries, zoos, water parks and pediatric offices. Expressive Go includes a digital replica of each one, with the same words in the same places, plus a voice. Scan the QR code on the board, practice at home and keep talking after you leave.
BOARDS FOR EVERY STAGE
• Starter (30 buttons), Growing (48), Advanced (84) and Core (119)
• School playground, simplified school playground, city playground, library, water park, zoo and pediatrician room
• Fitzgerald Key colors: yellow for people, green for actions, orange for things, blue for describing words
MAKE IT YOURS
• Add your own photos, words and folders
• Choose from more than 26,000 Smarty Symbols, an inclusive library that shows children of every background and ability
• Hide words, change colors, choose the font and where the words sit on each tile
• Type anything with the keyboard and hear it spoken, with letter, word or silent feedback
SHOW BIG
Press and hold the message to show it large to a communication partner, and share it as text and pictures.
VOICES AND SETTINGS
• Voices in English, Spanish and Portuguese, with a slow-to-fast speed slider
• Speak words as you tap them, or build quietly and speak the whole message
• Ignore accidental double taps
• Lock the app so boards don't change by accident
• Back up every board and setting to Files or iCloud Drive, and restore on another iPad
