Add an ExpressivePower™ sound or expression

Many voices in simPODD include ExpressivePower sounds and expressions. You can use these to say certain words and phrases with inflection. Many of the children’s voices also include pre-recorded sounds that children frequently mimic while playing (e.g. ambulance sirens or a lion roaring). Adding buttons with ExpressivePower expressions and sounds can make conveying emotion while using AAC much easier.

Add an ExpressivePower sound or expression to a button

First, go into the folder where you want to add the expression.
Tap Edit in the toolbar to open Edit Mode.
If the button already exists, tap it to select it. Otherwise, make a new button.
In the Basics section, tap the button at the far right of the Speech field.
Go to the Sounds or Expressions tab to access the sounds or expressions. Scroll through the list or start typing in the Search field to find a specific sound or expression. Preview any sound or expression by tapping the speaker button in its row.
To add an expression to your button, tap its name in the list.

You may need to download a new voice to get the expressions you want. To do this, you will need to leave Edit Mode and go into the Options . For exact steps, see Add or delete a voice.
