Wayword AAC Software
5.8% of the US population have a speech, voice, or language difficulty. Dozens of incredibly overpriced Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices and software exist to help with speech difficulty.
Don Angelillo and I partnered again to create an AAC experience that was customizable, innovative, and most importantly, affordable.
Sketches and Experiments
To get started, we tapped into Don’s past experiences with the Wayword use case, and performed in-depth interviews with a handful of schools that sponsored assistive programs.
Before going to far down one individual path, we validated the approach with several of the individual we previously interviewed.
Standing Out in a Crowd
Part of the Wayword mission was to take what was a historically clunky product set and turn it into something beautiful, understandable, and highly usable.
An Innovative Feature Set
Phrase creation and AI suggestions just to name two. Wayword was built to sync and work across all of your MacOS devices!
Update Content With Ease
We required a smooth process to update our extensive tile library, so we created a customer CMS that also auto-resized assets for multi-device optimization.
