Communicator 5 comes with language content designed to match various AAC needs, from emerging communication to literate adults. The content can be further customized for specific individuals through easy-to-use editing tools. The modern user interface, improved workflows and smart functions enable the user to communicate quicker than before.

The setup guide, quick menu, and improved editing are only some of the functions that make it easier for caregivers, SLPs, Special Education teachers, family members or anyone else that help the user throughout the day, to keep the user’s language up to date.

While being specifically designed for the Tobii Dynavox I-Series+, Communicator works on any Windows computer running Windows 7 or newer, such as the Microsoft Surface.
