I am excited to announce AAC Voices’ new Accessible Letters Tool. This tool is designed to let everyone, of all abilities, engage in word-building and spelling activities such as those found in structured, synthetic phonics programs (which should be part of a broad language, reading, and writing curriculum). This tool allows users with various physical, visual, auditory, attentional, and other skill differences to engage with a word-work board. Options include many visual accommodations, auditory supports, and various access options including direct selection using a touch screen, mouse, or joystick; dwell settings to accommodate head tracking and eye tracking; and both single- and dual-switch scanning. These are just the tip of the iceberg of options! Please enjoy this overview of the many features available on March 15, 2026, the day of our soft release. We are open to feedback and would especially like to hear from switch and dwell/eye-gaze users. You can find the app at: https://accessibleletterstool.replit.appaccessibleletterstool.replit.app

This is a very useful tool Kate! Thank you! Did you envision this app to be used with an iPad or through the web/Google/Chrome?

This is so much better than other word work online versions! I love the ability to capitalize letters, make the letters larger and different colors. I'm working with a student who is verbal but we think there may be a visual issue and I'm hoping this helps him. I would love the option to select letter sounds when spelling.
