Abstract: Article describes Bangaten, a new version of Banga, a smart phone application that uses computer-presented images to support naming (word finding) practice, a form of therapy for people with aphasia. Banga combines delivery on easily portable smart phone devices with remote management, allowing a therapist to monitor a patient’s practice, and change the materials on a patient’s device, without requiring office visits. Early user experience shows that Bangaten offers useful cross-platform operation, on both Android and iPhone devices, including remote management of a client's device. Bangaten demonstrates the growing usefulness of emerging HTML5 technology for implementing assistive technology applications, while also illustrating some remaining limitations.
