WORDS
I Can Speak comes with over 850 words in over twenty categories and over a dozen pre-stored phrases with room for up to almost 10,000 words and phrases. The words in I Can Speak are divided into three distinct areas. The first and most important section is the Static section and is found on the left hand side of the system which is always available when using the other two sections. The second section is the Words section with room for up to 4,800 common words. The third section is the Activities section for words and phrases for activity based vocabulary with room for up to 120 common activity pages with up to 40 words or phrases on each page.
It is the combination of these three sections that makes I Can Speak so unique. You build sentences from left to right choosing a sentence starter from the Static section and adding an action from either the Static section or from either of the Words or Activities sections. Then push the Speak button to hear that sentence.
