How do I install Spanish and English voices on the app, and select male/female?

Within the I Can Communicate! app, select the ⚙ button on top of the screen. Select "Download Languages". Select either "English (United States)", "Spanish (United States", or "Spanish (Spain)". Select "Install Voice data".

To choose between male and female voices, after selecting "Install Voice data", select "Voice Set 1" and choose one of the Female or Male voices. Select "OK" and select the back button several times until you go back to the main app screen.

Can users access both Spanish and English categories and buttons?

I Can Communicate! can toggle between two separate pagesets that have categories/buttons in both Spanish and English. This is especially practical for someone who is bilingual, communicating in both Spanish and English. To switch to and from Spanish and English, select the people icon on the top right section of the main screen of the app. Select either English or one of the Spanish options. This will take you to the English or Spanish only sections.
