Don't be fooled by the
simple appearance of the opening screen! From here, the user can
move between an unlimited number of pages of pre-programmed
words and phrases. This type of selection method for speech
software is known as a "dynamic display communication system."

"hello", "nice to see you" etc. If you want to talk about the
weather, create a page of sound buttons that contains weather
related phrases. It is that simple. And there is NO limit to the
number of pages you can add.
