The Vocabularies Core Word is for users who can put words together into sentences. It consists of a main page with the most frequently used words in English conversation, and folders of less frequently used words, organized in categories. Core Word can be configured from 9 to 64 buttons per page, and is optimized for quick sentence creation and language development.
Tap buttons to speak messages and navigate to folders.
Tap the message window to speak a message.
Basic Communication is for users who are at the early requesting stage of language development, and usually have not started to combine words to form longer messages. Basic Communication can be configured from 9 to 36 buttons per page, and provides support for developing requesting, commenting, early social interactions, and basic academics. You can also start with a blank vocabulary or, if you are upgrading from an earlier version, you can select your current vocabulary. Note that if you later want to use another vocabulary you can always go to Options and create a new user. For more information about the vocabularies see the manual.
