Features & Capabilities

Powered by AI, GoTalk About It! creates topic-specific displays automatically from photographs to support communication and language learning for non-speaking individuals, their families, and speech-language pathologists (SLPs).

Choose a photograph, and in a few seconds GoTalk About It! will create a topic-specific display containing vocabulary symbols (pictograms) related to the input photograph!

Topic-specific displays are a single page containing all relevant vocabulary to discuss a certain topic or activity. Users can then select vocabulary to create sentences using synthesized speech.

GoTalk About It! is fully customizable:

~> You can edit the topic display created to add or remove words, or select a better symbol for a specific word. ~> You can change the size of all elements in the interface. ~> You can choose the complexity of vocabulary generated automatically. ~> You can program familiar people to enable QuickPic to automatically recognize them when creating new boards.

GoTalk About It! was designed by a team of experts (PhDs and CCC-SLPs) in the field of speech-language therapy and human-computer interaction (HCI) using user-centered design methodologies, which involved the participation of end-users in the process.

Update, 8 months later : Still no updates addressing my concerns. Also I ran in to a major snag - I wanted to crop the photo on a board I made to focus on the book in it better, but there is no CROP feature. So then I tried to replace the PHOTO but not the board accompanying it- but there was no way to either delete the photo I don’t want anymore and replace it with one I do OR a way to COPY all the buttons on the board as a “template” so I could then start a new board with the photo I want, without losing all my work. Also I want to be able to edit/drag the photo anywhere I want to on the board. When I make it small, it sits oddly in the center of the page, instead of at the top…WHY? I feel in 2026 this isn’t rocket science and these are basic requests. To get around the fact the app is auto generating bizarre images that have nothing to do with anything, can we not just easily type a string of words for each category. For example nouns : dog, cat, giraffe, bird ; Verbs: see, go, is walking, etc. Then from our list a board would be generated quickly with the exact words we want, with the correct colors quickly assigned in a batch. Also a PRINT option where a board shrinks to fit all on one page, so a physical copy can be made if desired. iPads don’t always work and backups are a good thing. Original review: I love having this app to support my students with special needs. That said, it still is taking A LOT of extra time- way more than it needs to- to set up the boards with words that actually make sense. I added a photo of a toy blender for smoothies for example, and it offered words like ‘’steep’ (and showed a cliffside), and teapot, which doesn’t make sense here, as well as a a whole bunch of random prepositions like ‘between’ . Allowing us to save a current board as a template would help tremendously with this. I always use the images in the same place, so that students know where to expect vocabulary. So when it auto generates random, unrelated words and I have to delete them, it shifts the positions of the words I already have and like around. Also we need another category/color for phrases for things like “I like it” “all done” etc. Or allow us to add up to 3 more categories and colors of our own to make it more flexible. Also, let us put a colored icon in any column we want, for more flexibility. We might want to make a pattern for students like red green red green red green, or and we should be able to do that if we want. Right now there are some kinks but I LOVE where this app could go and await updates. I love having this app to support my students with special needs.

Only thing I really would like is for it to be available in other languages. I need it solely for learning Spanish. Hope developer will consider.
