Description
e-Mintza is a customisable and dynamic system of augmentative and alternative communication aimed at people with autism or with oral or written communication barriers. Born out of the collaboration between the Orange Foundation and Foundation Dr. Carlos Elósegui of the Policlínica Gipuzkoa, it allows the user to communicate with other people by means of tactile and multimedia technology, adapting to the necessities of its users easily. Also it promotes its autonomy through a customised agenda.e-Mintza (which in Euskera means electronic speech) is a free downloadable program that shows communication display with pictograms or associated images and sounds that allow a direct and simple communication. The display is easily customisable as far as the language used is concerned, texts, images, videos or sounds, based on the necessities of the user, who will be able to preferablyinteract using a touch screen on a tablet type device, but also using a conventional mouse on a computer.
Considering a beginning to ensure communication for people with autism, on who the application has been tested, the program can be used by other many people, given its high customisation capacity. Thus, for example, it may be useful for deaf children who have not yet acquired a language, people with serious intellectual discapacities, patient with cerebral damage caused by traumas or accidents, senior people with degenerative neuro diseases, people that cannot express themselves, who may require intubation or assisted ventilation during their stay in hospital, etc.
One of the characteristics of the e-Mintza software is the possibility of personalisation with photos instead of pictograms or words. In addition, there is an option to add videos.
The technical development of e-Mintza was done by Nesplora, counting on essential evaluation on the part of the Gautena Autism Association during the different phases of the project. Likewise, some of the pictograms used are from the Aragonese website of pictograms and graphical resources (ARASAAC).
The evaluation with real users continued over a nine month period considering parameters such as the adaptation of pictograms, the size of the photos, the motor capacity of the user, real communicative utility and not so much a recreational tool, the manageability and educative functionality, among other aspects. The agenda is emphasised among the new features incorporated after the evaluation with the users, in which the user can locate a temporary planned sequence of up to six activities a day, a week or a period of time.
e-Mintza has counted on the economic support of Plan Avanza2 from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Commerce.

How to use e-Mintza
The program is made up of two integrated applications:
- e-Mintza: opens up a board so that when pressing on every category a new screen opens showing a series of pictograms. Each one has an associated sound and when pressing each pictogram a voice sends a message directly to the board which then constructs the phrase. For example, in the food category, different dishes and foods are offered and the user can choose among them (shown with photographs or pictograms). The program speaks with real voices, in euskera or Castilian, donated by collaborators of various ages.
- The authorising tool: from which, the tutor (familiar, therapist or similar) or the user themselves, will be able to personalize e-Mintza and to create the communication adapted to the specific individual needs of each person. Being able to add or edit, new pictograms, photographs or sounds in any category and in a simple way. Each update done by author will automatically be reflected in the e-Mintza application.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
