## What is Aloud AAC?

Aloud AAC is a free communication app for adults who have difficulty speaking. Tap word tiles, type a message, or use saved phrases to speak out loud on your iPhone or iPad.

Designed for everyday conversations after speech loss, including communication needs associated with aphasia after stroke, ALS or motor neurone disease, Parkinson's, and head or neck surgery. Choose the approach that works for you, with support from a speech-language professional when needed.

YOUR WORDS. YOUR CHOICE.
Tap words and choose Make a sentence to see sentence options. Read the options and tap the one you mean before it is spoken. Prefer your exact words? Say my words speaks the words you selected without rewriting them. A Stop button is available while the app speaks.

MORE THAN ONE WAY TO TALK
- Tap picture and word tiles, or type what you want to say.
- Save useful phrases and pin the ones you want close at hand.
- Personalize your board, add people, and find sentences about them.
- Use Show my words for a large message someone else can read.
- Use My card to explain how you prefer to communicate.
- Add words and sentences from a plain-text list.
- Export a backup or print a paper communication board.

WORKS OFFLINE
Everyday communication works without an internet connection. On a supported device with Apple Intelligence available, sentence suggestions are generated on the device. When that model is unavailable, built-in sentence templates remain available. Apple Intelligence is not required to use the app.

OPTIONAL ONLINE SENTENCES
The online option offers Claude Haiku 5.5 suggestions on every supported device during the current free offering, including devices without Apple Intelligence. It is off by default and needs an internet connection. In Menu > Talk rules, review the disclosure and choose Use online sentences to enable it. You always review and select the sentence before speech.

PRIVATE AND FREE
No account, ads, subscription, or in-app purchases. No advertising or analytics SDKs. Saved words and phrases stay on your device. If you enable online sentences, only your selected words and sentence style, candidate count and consent version go through our server to Anthropic. Saved profiles, photos and history are not uploaded by that feature. Selected words may include personal or health information; review the in-app disclosure and privacy policy. You can turn online sentences off and keep using the offline tools. Exports and sharing use Apple's system tools only when you choose.

MADE FOR ADULT COMMUNICATION
Adjust picture size, word colors, text size, voice, and speaking speed. Use installed English system voices, or an Apple Personal Voice where available and permitted. The app includes support for iOS accessibility features; suitability depends on your device, settings, and access needs.

Requires iOS or iPadOS 26.0 or later. Communication content is in English. Aloud AAC is a communication aid, not a speech therapy program. It does not diagnose or treat a condition.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-16

Optional online sentence suggestions powered by Claude Haiku 5.5, available on every supported device during the current free offering. Enable them in Menu > Talk rules after reviewing the disclosure. Offline speech, saved phrases, templates and the Say my words option remain available. Suggestions are never spoken automatically.

### 1.3 — 2026-10-04

Right now, on the home screen. A new shortcut under your words opens the phrases for this time of day: morning, afternoon or night. It opens the list and speaks nothing until you choose.

Your people, by name. Add the people in your life in About me and each one gets ten ready sentences: Please call Sarah. I miss Sarah. When is Sarah coming? Tell Sarah I said hello. They appear on the person's tile and in the People pack.

Bring your words. Moving from another app? In Settings, Back up and move, choose Add words from a list. Paste a list or pick a text file, see exactly what will be added before anything changes, then add it with one tap. Adding never removes or moves a word you already have.

My card helps the people helping you. The first page now also says: Please do not finish my sentences. Your printed board shows the same three lines on page one, under How to talk with me.

Word beside the board, on iPad. Turn it on in Pictures and color, and a word you tap in My words opens its sentences beside the board instead of on top of it. It is off unless you choose it, and on iPhone nothing changes.

Nothing leaves your device. No account, no network, no tracking.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-16

Aloud now holds 543 words in nine colour-coded groups: People, Feelings, Body, Food and drink, Places, Actions, Things, Social and Time. Every word has a picture, and every group has its own colour so you can find a word by where it is and what it looks like.

The home screen keeps your four most-needed words in front of you, with the rest one tap away in My words.

New ways to say something:
• Point to the body. Tap where it hurts on a body map and Aloud builds the sentence.
• Spell. Type any sentence and have it spoken, for the words no board could hold.
• My card. A page you can turn round and show: who you are, how to talk with you, who to call. Nothing sensitive is ever shown.
• Right now. The phrases you need most for the time of day, first.

Ready-made sentences: 142 phrases in 11 packs, for the hospital, the pharmacy, mealtimes, hard conversations and more. Add a whole pack, or one sentence.

Make it yours:
• Hold and move any shortcut on the home screen. Take one off, put one back, change the order.
• Choose which words sit on your board, and pin any phrase to the top.
• Two colour palettes, three picture sizes, and everything works at the largest text sizes with Bold Text and Increase Contrast.
• Parent mode locks the editing screens with a code, and never locks anything you need to speak.

Help corner: 19 short articles, two guided tours you can replay, and a one-tap way to email us.

Back up and move: export everything, pictures included, to a file you can keep or move to a new iPhone or iPad.

Nothing leaves your device. No account, no network, no tracking.
