Having quick access to whole messages enhances communication rate. There is no real limit to the length of message that can be stored, and AAC users often prepare whole presentations, as paragraph-at-a-time messages. Most of us will have heard Steve Hawkings deliver 'Here's one I prepared earlier' speeches.

Generally speaking, though, just how often do we want to say exactly the same words, in exactly the same order? Around 2% of the time for proficient AAC communicators.

An efficient system must provide access to words as single units if the user is to be able to communicate spontaneously and MAKE-IT-UP-AS-THEY-GO-ALONG.
