Our verdict on GoTalk NOW
GoTalk NOW is a paid augmentative and alternative communication app for people who have difficulty speaking. It is designed for AAC users and for the speech-language pathologists, teachers, families, and caregivers who create or support their communication materials. The app lets users build communication books with adjustable layouts, visual scene pages, recorded messages, text-to-speech, symbols, videos, and navigation links. Touch, single-switch scanning, and two-switch scanning provide different access methods.
Its standout feature is the range of page-design options. Users can choose Standard, Express, Scene, or hybrid visual-scene pages, then adjust layouts from 1 to 49 locations. The included symbol set supports book creation, while optional symbol libraries add further content choices. Communication books can be shared over Wi-Fi, and backups can use Dropbox or a Mac or PC. Support for videos, music, social stories, and step-by-step instruction also gives the app a broader role than message buttons alone. Optional on-device AI assistance is available on supported iPads.
The ecosystem is centered on Apple hardware and connected services. GoTalk NOW runs on iPadOS, with Apple Vision compatibility listed, and integrates with Dropbox, Google Drive, Wi-Fi sharing, GoTalk Connect, and Pretorian iClick. That makes it a practical fit for teams moving books between devices or coordinating materials across care and education settings. The trade-off is platform coverage: people who need Android or non-Apple support should look elsewhere. It is also a paid app rather than a full-app free plan, so it suits buyers who prioritize customizable AAC books and iPad-based workflows over broad device availability.
