What it does

A sentence builder that does the grammar, so the person using it only has to choose the words.

Sentences that come out right

Only words that fit are offered next, and each comes in the right form: she wants, I went, the people are.

Speaks with one tap

Tap the sentence and it is read aloud, all in one go, so it sounds natural. Choose the voice, speed and pitch. It speaks even when the device is set to silent.

Find the right words

Words are grouped by topic (food, feelings, people, places), by parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb) and alphabetically. The most-used words are pinned at the top.

Fast talking

Want to quickly reply to a question whilst building a sentence? Tap the custom hotbar to say Yes, No or I need help without losing your place.

Personalise

Add their own words and switch off the ones they will never use. Settings stay hidden until a carer turns them on, so nothing gets changed by accident. Save favourite common sentences for quick access.

Private, and works offline

No account, no sign-in, no internet connection needed. A person shouln't fall silent just because the internet is down.
