+Each service has a location. Moving around is done by swiping in different directions, movie clip below.|[http://www.kvamme.se/Aphasia/Images/erlang_neo.mpg]
-*'''Pictograms'''
+Another, cooler way to change service is to take a walk down the street. The GPS service is doing the swipin' for you, and the services for a certain location are showing up on screen when you move around.
-**Lots of small pictures that speaks when you touch them. You, as well as the one you are talking to can hear them speak.
+When you walk up to the bus stop the GPS service makes sure you have the clock and the bus_traveling service at hand. What the bus_traveling service should do is up to you and your doktor.

-*'''GPS Reticle'''
-**It's like a rifle reticle, but friendlier. With the dot in the center you are heading at your goal. Nice if you lost your way back to your hotel.

-*'''Mimic'''
-**Word/phrase practising. You listen to a word or phrase, mimic and listen to both versions for comparison. You can practice in public, people you meet thinks you are talking to someone on the phone :)
 As you can see, lots of new services still remains to invent/implement. If you are a programmer or want to learn, please read the developer section above and get going. People with Aphasia, and their relatives, are probably the most valuable resources we could get as developers, so please sign on.

-It all started in the 90's, a friend of mine asked if I could make a Windows-program that he could use to connect his home pc to his office pc so that he could communicate with his son, suffering from Downs syndrome and unable to use an ordinary phone. His son knew pictograms and could communicate by sending small pictures to his dad. I made a system which I also took to [http://www.hi.se/en/Swedish-Institute-of-Assistive-Technology-/ HI]. They found it interesting, but not mobile enough (a PC was a heavy box at that time) and restrictive because you had to have 2 PC's with the same software installed on both. The idea though was brilliant, and here we go again, with a new incarnation.

 '''A:'''  If you are familiar with Google Maps, you know that you can type in a street address and get the map and exact GPS location. Use that database the other way around and you get the street address if you handle in a GPS location, it's called Reverse Geocoding. A simple text2speech application converts the address to sound.
