AeroText

AeroText™ is a simple-to-download, easy-to-use, Android™ application that allows users to text and manage contacts through an Android phone using their PRC-Saltillo device and a Bluetooth connection. The AAC device user simply uses their vocabulary to generate a message that is then shared by the AeroText app.

**Due to the wide variety of Android phones and operating systems, PRC-Saltillo is unable to guarantee functionality with a specific phone or operating system version. We recommend testing your specific phone/ current operating system prior to relying on AeroText for texting through your AAC device.
