Scene & Heard is a Visual Scene Display augmentative communication aid on the iPad!

Scene & Heard is an interactive context based communication aid and learning tool.
Parents, teachers, therapists and helpers can import photos and allocate actions including audio messages, short videos, Widgit symbols and scene links to transition to a new scene. This makes the scene interactive!

– Choose and use over 10000 Widgit symbols to use to support communication
– Create hotspots (tagging a scene) on the scene and allocate actions, so that the picture is interactive

Scene & Heard is designed to cater for a range of needs, starting with simple
single message based communication through to sophisticated interlinking of scenes with a range of interactive features.

Scene & Heard offers the functionality to record your own voice, and so, can be used for languages other than English.
