Govorko

Govorko is a tool for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for children with disabilities developed by students at KHIE, FEEIT. It can be used to enable them to communicate with their surroundings using speech prompts.

The app is free to install and use via the Google Play store and the code is available as free software on GitLab.
