Weavechat just came out with Haitian Creole vocabulary! This is very exciting as AAC apps have historically not supported any Haitian Creole vocabulary. How cool!

Haitian Creole is now available in Weave Chat AAC and Weave Chat Connect (weavechatconnect.com).

You can change your voice and language in Settings > Voice & language.

The translations are done by native and fluent speakers.
