Avaz offers the option of converting the picture vocabulary to an Avaz Book, that can be mailed and printed as an Avaz Book (hard copy) or a low tech board. 



What is Avaz Book ?

Avaz Book is the low tech version of Avaz vocabulary that can be maintained as a physical book. You can convert your Avaz picture vocabulary into a PDF format that can be mailed and printed and laminated and carried around anywhere. 


It is always useful to have a low-tech version of your Avaz content as a backup, as there are times when your child may be unable to use the device  - e.g. when the device is charging, or under repair, while bathing, or at the swimming pool etc. This book makes the child's "voice" always available to them anytime and anywhere, regardless of the functioning of technology. 


You can convert a specific folder (and its subfolders and messages) or even a page, to the Avaz book. 


Important: Trying the convert the entire vocabulary to PDF is not advisable as it may take a very long time or even make the app unresponsive.
