Verbal Victor: Communications App skills development for the challenges of development and Communication

VerbalVictor

Verbal Victor is a special pedagogical application aims to help children who have difficulties in communication and development. I posted a few weeks back on this app - because it has a great history back - a father, creating an application to help her child with disabilities. Here are just a small slice of this context:

Victor Pauca will be many gifts to unpack the holiday season, but 5 years Winston-Salem boy has already received the best gift he will get this year: the ability to communicate.

Victor has a rare genetic disease that the development of a number of skills, including the speeches of delays. To help him and others with disabilities, his father, Paul, and some of his students at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem created an application for the iPhone and iPad that turns their touch screens in communication tools.

And here's an introduction to the application from its App Store page:

Verbal Victor is a software for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Verbal Victor is designed primarily for emerging communication skillls persons and delayed development. It has two modes: administrator and user modes. Administrator mode, Victor Verbal can be customized to display the buttons for two, four or six on each screen. Administrator (parent or therapist) can also use the administrator mode to create new buttons and record the audio subject for each button. Verbal Victor in user mode, allows the user to communicate in the same way as it would with a traditional AAC device. Access to the administrator mode is protected by gesture control (the user must have two fingers on the screen for at least five seconds) and a password.

Verbal Victor has been designed with the participation of teachers of special education and speech language pathologists at the Centre of childhood for the physically disabled, Winston-Salem, NC and parents of children with Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome.

Like any other entry-level AAC device, verbal Victor is designed for parent or therapist to fully customize the content to the needs of the child by cameras integrated, built-in microphones, or through iTunes. Content minimum is provided.

I am pleased to see that this app has hit the App Store. Here hope it proves an excellent tool for Victor and many others.

You can find Victor verbal in the App Store at a price of $6.99 now.

Details of the iPad 2 of Engadget

iPad2SDCardSpot

Engadget has posted some juicy details on the iPad 2, drawn from sources say proved reliable in the past. Here's a quick summary of what they have learned:

-It will have a built-in SD card slot at the location indicated in the photo above. And no traditional USB connector.

It should be released 'around April' - which was the most likely scenario as it would be good annual Apple refresh cycle.

-Will be thinner, that we heard each time a "leak" mock-up or examples of surfaces

-It will have a much better view:

... will wear a new screen technology which is akin to (but not the same as) iPhone 4′s retina display and will be "super high resolution."

-Will be a 10-inch Tablet (or 9.56) to be exact.

-Front and rear cameras be included – once again, not a shocker at all.

Here's a piece which coincides with the hope that there will be a model of the iPad Verizon 2:

The new iPad will feature a dual GSM / CDMA chipset produced by Qualcomm and mark pass Apple's Infineon as its creator Qualcomm chipset for all of its mobile devices. It is not clear whether the chipset used will depend on EV - DO the company / variety Gobi HSPA or a completely new design. The strength of the new chipset dual-mode is probably that it would allow Verizon and AT & T to offer iPad simultaneously.

Overall, this isn't a shocking list, but it's good to see things confirmed. I think that most users prefer to see a USB port on a SD card connector, and I would like to hear more about the processor and the RAM for the next gen iPad specifications.

In the meantime, you can get much more detail - and some even good on iPhone info 5 and model following Apple TV - article from Engadget here:

"Everyday" iPad only journal launch delayed by weeks

TheDaily

Image Source: 9to5Mac

The highly anticipated unveiling new journal iPad only title of News Corp, newspaper, is supposed to have been delayed for weeks.

The launch for the daily event was supposed to be held next week, January 19, but apparently Apple and news Corp, have now been that push. Mediamemo - blog reports from the part of all things digital site which is owned by News Corp. themselves - the delay is due to complications with the new subscription service that Apple should announce alongside the launch of the daily.

While leaders of News Corp. were showing a version of the iPad APP daily work, a new subscription functionality that is building in Apple's iTunes is apparently the cause of the delay, the report notes.

News Corp. PR representative contacted by Kafka has confirmed the delay, but he gave no further information.

Assuming that these reports are correct, it is damage. I am really looking forward to see on a daily basis, and even more to see what kind of subscription system Apple will implement. Probably it is now linked to the output of the iOS 4.3 - update which has just had its first beta release this week.
