Voice Output Communication Aids (VOCAs) or Speech Generating Devices (SGDs) are devices which enable the user to speak.
The simplest VOCAs store a single pre-recorded message, which is produced in the form of digitised speech when the person using the device presses a button, switch, or key.
The most elaborate VOCAs include software that allows users to create and combine words to produce novel utterances in the form of computerised synthetic speech.
We are currently reviewing the literature on the use of VOCAs for people with autism.
If you are aware of further research, or you would like to share your personal experiences of VOCAs, please email info@researchautism.net Thank you.
