AssistiveWare Proloquo2Go 7.6 introduces Tamira

At AssistiveWare, it is part of our mission to make sure that everyone can say anything, anywhere, at any time. Tamira, developed by Acapela Group in collaboration with AssistiveWare, PRC-Saltillo, and Tobii Dynavox, is a continuation of our commitment to reflect the diversity of the AAC community.

Tamira is the first of two adult and two child voices (male and female) in this new family set of voices AssistiveWare commits to making all of them available in our AAC apps as soon as they are developed.

(Update - Oct 2022)
All of our AAC apps (Proloquo, Proloquo2Go, Proloquo4Text, Pictello and simPODD) now support all four of the African American English Digital AAC voices - Tamira, Darius, Malik, and Tiana.
