Spoken – Tap to Talk AAC

Communication support for people who cannot rely on speech

Spoken – Tap to Talk AAC is an augmentative and alternative communication app for teens and adults with speech or language disorders. It turns typed, written, or drawn input into spoken language, giving users another way to express needs, thoughts, and prepared messages. It may suit people living with nonverbal autism, aphasia, ALS, or speech loss after a stroke.

Built for quicker, more personal expression

The app uses predictive technology to learn a user’s vocabulary and speaking patterns. That can reduce the work involved in building familiar sentences over time. Spoken also provides natural-sounding voices, helping communication feel less mechanical and allowing users to choose an output that feels more personal.

• Type, write by hand, or draw input for conversion to speech.
• Save commonly used phrases for faster access.
• Show large text or visual messages when a message needs attention.
• Use audible alerts and visual cues in situations where speech is difficult or unavailable.

Designed for everyday AAC use

Spoken focuses on direct access rather than a fixed communication board. Large display options and multiple input methods can help accommodate different motor abilities, communication habits, and levels of fatigue. Predictive suggestions are most useful for people who repeatedly communicate similar phrases, while saved messages can help with routine social, medical, or practical situations.
