My mother is a speech therapist. 20 years ago she used to bring these devices home to set up for kids she worked with and would get me to record the voice sometimes for her kids who had a similar voice to mine. Even then, as a child, it struck me how basic and expensive those things were.

The arrival of iPads was a wonderful thing for her, not because the functionality got better but because an iPad was far far cheaper than the array of 20 buttons with self-printed laminated labels she was using with most of her kids.

All that to say, this is fabulous, and well overdue.
