Still in alpha.

Cboard is an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) web application, allowing users with speech and language impairments (autism, cerebral palsy) to communicate by symbols and text-to-speech.

The app uses the browser's Speech Synthesis API to generate speech when a symbol is clicked, there are 3400 symbols to choose from when creating a board. Cboard is available in 33 languages (support varies by platform - Android, iOS, Windows).

This video from Real Look Autism will help you understand how communication boards are being used.

Disclaimer: the app in the video is not Cboard.

The app supports 33 languages. Languages were machine translated and require proofreading, if you want to help proofread click here: https://shayc.github.io/cboard-translate/ - you do not need to be a programmer!

Runs the app in development mode.

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
By default, it also includes a service worker so that Cboard loads from local cache on future visits.

Cboard is ready to be deployed.
