Proloquo comes with the Infovox iVox high-quality voices. Visit the Infovox iVox page to hear voice samples.

Proloquo is a multi-purpose, multilingual speech solution for Mac OS X that provides: (1) a communication system (AAC) for people who cannot speak; (2) improves accessibility of Mac OS X for people with visual impairments; (3) provides speech feedback in any application while typing for children and people with learning disabilities; (4) can serve as a talking word processor; (5) provides text to speech for people who prefer listening to reading; (6) can be used as a tool to learn the pronunciation of foreign languages; (7) provides an advanced, multilingual speech engine for KeyStrokes™ (purchase separately) an on-screen keyboard and SwitchXS™ (purchase separately) a switch access solution.

Proloquo includes High Quality and/or High Density Acapela voices for a language of choice. The languages currently include US English, UK English, German, Dutch, Flemish, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Brazilian Portuguese. Acapela voices for additional languages can be purchased as a language pack. In addition, Proloquo is available as a bundle with Infovox iVox, which provides voices that work not only in Proloquo but system-wide. Finally, Proloquo also functions with all the built-in voices of Mac OS X.

Proloquo is different from Apple’s VoiceOver technology for Mac OS X Tiger. VoiceOver is a screen reader primarily intended for people who are blind. Proloquo, instead, is a multi-purpose speech solution that also includes certain features geared towards people with low vision (such as the ability to speak what is below the cursor and to echo what the user types). Additionally, Proloquo works with high quality voices in multiple languages and works on both Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)

Proloquo can be used to create a personalized Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) system using simple drag and drop (or copy and paste) of phrases into lists organized by topic. Proloquo can also be combined with LayoutKitchen™ (purchase separately). With LayoutKitchen users can design their own speech panels for Proloquo with colorable and resizable buttons containing text and/or images in a variety of formats.
