- Ability to switch between languages from within the ACAT App.
- Language extensions available as ACAT Language Packs which can be separately downloaded and installed.
ACAT Vision
- ACAT Vision not a standalone EXE anymore. It is now integrated with ACAT as an extension. TCP/IP is no longer used to communicate with ACAT Vision. This should eliminate problems some users were facing with blocked TCP ports.

- Migrated to 32-bit. Will run on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows OS’s.
- Ability to select the preferred camera if multiple cameras are present
- Ability to select the preferred facial gesture that will act as the switch trigger.
UI
- Additional Alphabet scanner layouts and scanning sequences designed towards making typing more efficient.
- A new ACAT Dashboard application to launch all the different variations of ACAT App and ACAT Talk app. Shortcuts to the preferred ACAT Apps can be selectively created on the desktop.
