We’re excited to welcome two iOS apps to our AAC offering: Avaz and Predictable!
This expansion means we can now support a broader range of communication needs – giving individuals, families and therapists more choice, flexibility and confidence when finding the right AAC fit.
Both of these well-established apps are available now to trial on our Via® devices – alongside other systems such as Unity ® and LAMP Words for Life®.
It’s no secret that communication looks different for everyone. By adding Avaz and Predictable to our Via® devices, we can now provide solutions to suit a wider variety of communicator preferences and life stages.
Specifically, we can now support:
It’s not surprising we’re so excited!
So, what do these new apps look like in practice? Let’s take a closer look.
Avaz is designed for children and adults who benefit from visual communication systems.
With a large symbol library and support for multiple languages (including English, Indian dialects, Vietnamese, French and more), Avaz helps people build communication that works for them.
Predictable supports literate communicators who prefer or rely on text and speech output to communicate.
With intelligent word prediction and flexible access options, Predictable allows faster, more independent communication.
The new apps are about adding to our offering, not replacing anything. Because even though we’re expanding our app family, everything else remains unchanged.
The only difference is greater choice. With the launch of Avaz* and Predictable to our Via devices, it’s now even easier to find the right communication solution.

Your AAC device is an important part of everyday life, supporting conversations, learning, and connection with others. And, just like any piece of technology you rely on, it performs best when it’s well looked after! In this blog, we’ll share our top AAC device maintenance tips – including practical care, maintenance, and tech advice to help ensure your device stays reliable, responsive, and ready when you need it!
Let’s face it – devices get dirty. Whether you’re at school, work, or just having dinner, your device comes along for the ride. Give it some cleaning attention regularly to keep it working well.
For light cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth on the touchscreen. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp, lint-free cloth, then dry the screen with another soft cloth. You can find more detailed cleaning tips in your device manual.
Good to know: Keyguards can go in the dishwasher!
Your device comes with a specific charger – always use that one. Try to charge your battery before it drops to 0%. Charging when your battery is above 10% can extend its life significantly. For best results, charge your device upright at room temperature on a hard surface.
Tip: Turn off your device for faster charging.
We encourage keeping your device with you and ready to use for conversations throughout the day. However, there are smart times to use sleep mode or shut down completely.
Set your auto-sleep to five minutes or less. Use sleep mode when you won’t be using your device for short periods, like during swimming.
Remember that sleep mode uses about 2% of battery per hour. Consider turning off your device completely during longer breaks, like overnight.
Like most technology, your device works best when it’s not too hot. Take breaks from heat and avoid charging if your device feels warm. Move to shade or air conditioning rather than trying to cool it with water.
Tip: Keep a low-tech communication board handy for water activities.
Software updates bring new features and vocabulary to improve your communication experience. Connect to WiFi and follow the prompts in your settings menu to get these improvements. Updates also help your device run more smoothly overall.
Tip: Plug in your device during updates to protect your battery.
Your screen is essential for accessing all your communication options. Protect it from scratches, moisture, and spills with a screen protector. This also reduces glare and reflections, making it easier to see your buttons.
Visit our online store to see screen protector options for your device.
Your device is built to be durable and handle daily life. (If you haven’t already), you might try an extra protective case designed specifically for your device model. These cases provide additional security for active use at home and out in the community.
People change, and your needs change too. It might be time to check that you’re still accessing your device in the most comfortable and efficient way possible.
Connect with your support team (or ours!) to consider adjustments like:
Our local consultants are happy to discuss access questions to help you communicate at your best.
If you’re experiencing glitches, try restarting your device first – this solves most technical problems.
If you’re still having trouble after a restart, our support team is here to help. Contact us by phone, email, or through our website, and we’ll work together to get your AAC device maintenance issue resolved – and your device running smoothly again.
