Content for everyone – from powerful communication tools for text users, to grid sets for communicating with symbols and developing literacy.

Core vocabulary sits alongside activity-specific language, with powerful features that make it simpler to form phrases and communicate meaning.

Text Talker is packed with features for fast and powerful text communication, such as word prediction, Chat History, and a memory function.
It also includes ready-made grids for Message Banking, enabling people who still have some speech to capture it and recall it from within the app.

You can also start from scratch and build your own. Tailor everything from the layout of your grid, to the appearance of your cells and the symbols you use.
Familiar Grid Explorer
Easily add and organise your grid sets from Grid Explorer, your home screen within the app. This is where all your grid sets are stored.
Use alongside Grid 3
Create a Smartbox account to auto-sync content between Grid for iPad and Grid 3 using Dropbox.
Your content is stored in the cloud, meaning any changes you make to your grid sets and settings will be updated on both platforms.
This also means your grid sets are backed up, so if something happens to your iPad you won’t lose your content.
Remote editing
Remote editing enables anyone to edit grid sets from anywhere – using Grid 3 on Windows.
All you need is the free trial version of Grid 3 and the login details for the Smartbox account. Make the edits you require, and the changes will instantly appear in Grid for iPad – so simple!
