On December 9th, 2021, PRC-Saltillo released version the 2.34 update to the TouchChat® app.
Included in the 2.34 release are many exciting software features, as well as brand new Inclusive Voices by Almagu. These voices vary in age and background, and PRC-Saltillo is proud to be the first to offer this full range of voices in AAC.
New Features for TouchChat®
As of the 2.34 update on December 9th, TouchChat HD Lite is free in the Apple App Store! New users can enable the “Lite” functionality with an in-app purchase of $9.99.
The Lite functionality allows for the user interface experience but does not include speech synthesis or any type of audio playback capabilities. It’s a great way to try out the vocabularies before you buy the full app.
Customers upgrading from an existing TouchChat HD Lite installation to this version should be able to continue using their app as usual and will not need to make an in-app purchase.
More changes to this app, including a new name and increased functionality, are coming in 2022, so stay tuned!
