As I was preparing for my Lunch and Learn with MACUL’s special ed folks today (I will be a featured speaker at MACUL in March), I came across a neat Chrome App that I want to share with all of you.

What it does is let you create simple communication boards that have speech support (looks like it’s using Google’s Text to Speech engine) and scanning support. It is a very easy to learn tool and while it may not be as sophisticated as some of the commercial solutions out there it can be a nice solution for those implementing Chromebooks. Here is a quick video overview of this app:
What do you think of this app? Let me know in the comments.
