pcs symbols available for gotalk now app for ipad!

Posted by Gillian McNeill on the 18th September, 2014

Until now there have been few, if any options for those looking for a symbol-based communication app for iPad that uses PCS Symbols – Picture Communication Symbols. It has been a while coming, during which we have made much use of SymbolStix and Widgit symbols in particular, but yes PCS is now available for GoTalk Now.

So we went ahead at CALL Scotland with our purchase today, so that we could try the symbols out and now they are showing as available alongside the other image/symbol libraries within GoTalk Now.

Anyway now that they are here, get set, ready and go with PCS symbols!
