Assistiveware Newsletter
In this month's newsletter it is our pleasure to inform you about the release of Proloquo2Go 1.7 and the upcoming release of Pictello 1.4. Would would also like to inform you about the new Proloquo2Go webinar and two upcoming events.
--- Product News ---
Proloquo2Go - Version 1.7 and 1.7.1 focus on layout customization and organizational improvements
We are happy to inform you that we just released version 1.7 of Proloquo2Go, our Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) solution for iPad, iPod touch and iPhone. This free update brings many new features, such as a resizable message window and navigation bar, password protected settings, a bigger back and backspace button, as well as other enhancements. In addition, all Settings are now consolidated into the Option View inside Proloquo2Go. Please see our website for an overview of all the improvements.
We found some issues in 1.7 and most of these are addressed in version 1.7.1 released earlier this week, any remaining issues will be addressed in 1.7.2. If you are experiencing issues with the new Proloquo2Go, please contact support@proloquo2go.com for one-on-one support.
If you like the updated Proloquo2Go, please leave a review on iTunes.
Work on version 2.0 is taking longer than expected. We are hard at work on our new core words-based vocabulary and database architecture for Proloquo2Go. Once these two critical pieces are in place, we will be able to move ahead. The free 2.0 update is expected early next year and will provide two brand new vocabularies, multi-user support, folder and button level control over appearance, simpler and more powerful customization and editing, support for hidden buttons and empty slots on pages, alternative navigation options instead of swipe to scroll. We expect support for French and Spanish to follow in version 2.1. Support for other languages will follow after that.
Pictello - Version 1.4 brings new enhancements
Even though version 1.3 of Pictello was released just two months ago, we are expecting to already bring you version 1.4 next week, based on customer feedback. Version 1.4 of our visual storytelling app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch that is available in 23 languages and 5 localizations, will enable you to export your stories to PDF. Moreover, in Edit Mode it will be possible to rearrange the order of the stories. Version 1.4 will be a free update for our existing users. If you like the updated Pictello, please leave a review on iTunes!
Please see our Pictello website for more information and learning material.
-- Proloquo2Go Webinars ---
With the release of Proloquo2Go 1.7 we will organize a webinar on November 14, November 30 and December 7, 2011 to cover the changes and improvements. The webinars are an ongoing opportunity to learn more about Proloquo2Go and we encourage everyone (even if you already attended all six webinars in the first round) to also attend this webinar to stay up-to-date with new features of the app. Please see our webinars page for exact timeframes.
