## Description

TouchChat Discover offers a risk-free way to preview TouchChat’s AAC features before purchasing. You can start a free 30-day trial or explore the WordPower96 English and Spanish lite-tech boards, all within a universal iOS app.

TouchChat is an AAC solution for individuals who have difficulty using natural speech. It enables vocabulary pages with words, phrases, and sentences, and delivers messages via a built-in voice synthesizer or recorded audio. After the trial, you can upgrade to TouchChat HD with WordPower or continue using the lite boards; the app supports iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

## Review summary

Users praise TouchChat Discover for classroom utility and customizable visual-language tools, and view the lite version as a usable backup communication board. However, widespread criticisms focus on the high price, the absence of speech output in the lite version, ongoing compatibility and licensing issues after updates, and poor customer support.

### Pros

- Helpful classroom tool and widely used by teachers.
- Lite version remains a usable, customizable communication board and backup tool.
- Supports visual language learning and non-verbal practice (e.g., language learning) even without voice.
- Offers customization and flexible layout/icons to suit different users.

### Cons

- Very high price / affordability concerns for both the full and lite versions.
- Lite version lacks speech output, making it unusable as a functional AAC for many users.
- Compatibility and licensing issues after updates (e.g., not working on newer iOS, licenses breaking, license transfer restricted).
- Customer support is reported as poor or unhelpful.
