New
in iPrompts® v1.2:
Billions of Images, At Your Fingertips!
FRIDAY,
MARCH 19,
2010
Today's release of iPrompts® v1.2
offers another giant step forward in the revolution
of picture-based communications. In addition
to the several hundred
"starter" pictures and illustrations
included within iPrompts®, the app's Library
searches now optionally include results from
the Internet.
For example, an iPrompts® user who searches
for "bear"
may be presented with locally-stored results
(e.g., stock images for "bear" and
"polar bear"), and also with top Web
results. The feature expands the pool of available
iPrompts® content to include billions of
useful pictures indexed online.
This new feature provides tremendous flexibility
to caregivers. Want to create a step-by-step "How
to make a pizza" visual schedule? Or offer
a choice between favorite baseball players? Or
set up a visual countdown timer for just about
any activity? It's a snap to add almost any type
of picture to the powerful visual prompting templates
included within iPrompts®.
When a stable Internet
connection isn' present, users may turn the feature
off, so that only the "local" iPrompts® Library
is searched. This is done by exiting the app,
selecting the main "Settings"
icon of the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, scrolling
down to
"iPrompts," and then sliding the switch
to the "OFF"
position.
Version 1.2 is available as a free update to
all existing iPrompts® users — just
visit the App Store, and download the new version!
A few things to check out: A "How
To" PDF with for detailed instructions for
using the new Web-search feature
Our press
release announcing v1.2 Thanks, and best
of luck!
