TD Snap is augmentative and alternative communication software with page sets for people with communication disabilities. Its pages support touch, eye gaze, or switch access and provide speech output. Included sets are Core First, Motor Plan, Express, Text, Scanning, and Aphasia; PODD is available through an in-app purchase. Tools include editing and search, visual supports, Google Assistant, QuickFires, and myTobiiDynavox, which supports backing up, sharing, and syncing customized content. TD Snap runs on Windows and iPadOS. Listed requirements are Windows 10 64-bit version 1803 or newer and iPadOS 15 or newer. The app is free to download, but speech requires a monthly subscription after a one-month free trial; the App Store lists Speaking Upgrade Monthly at $9.99.
