What's New in Kalinio

5.10

November 4, 2026

We’ve made several parts of Kalinio clearer and easier to navigate. - Settings are better organized. It’s easier to close an open section and return to the overview. - During calibration, clearer status messages show when the camera and microphone are ready. - Reading acceleration is simpler to set up, with direct links to relevant help and calibration when needed. - Two inputs in quick succession are now consistently called a “double input”, with clearer explanations. - Calmer backgrounds and calibration indicators that reset correctly help keep the screen clear.

This is an amazing and truly helpful app…

…developed by a friend for my dear husband.

Due to his challenging health condition and tracheostomy, his ability to communicate with us is very limited. Thanks to this app, even the smallest facial movements, such as opening his mouth, or making a sound can trigger a mouse click, allowing him to select letters, numbers, and words on the screen.

This app has opened up a whole new world of communication for us. It gives my husband a way to express his thoughts, needs, and feelings, even when speaking is not possible.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for creating such a meaningful tool and for bringing hope and new possibilities to many more people living with similar challenges. ❤️

FAQ

What is Kalinio?

Kalinio is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tool designed to help individuals with little or no speech express their thoughts, wishes, and needs. It utilizes a combination of text, numbers, words, and pictures that are read aloud, with a single signal selecting an item.

Who can benefit from using Kalinio?

Kalinio can support individuals experiencing communication difficulties due to conditions such as stroke, dysarthria, apraxia of speech, aphasia, ALS, or locked-in syndrome. Users need a reliable voluntary input method and the ability to understand images for picture selection or to read and spell for letter selection.

What input methods does Kalinio support?

Kalinio offers a variety of input methods, including deliberate eye closure (experimental camera feature), opening the mouth or smiling (camera), sticking out the tongue (camera), tongue clicking, and traditional touch, mouse, or external switch inputs.

How does Kalinio handle user privacy, especially with camera input?

Camera and microphone recognition data is processed entirely on the device, meaning Kalinio does not automatically send this data or your messages to external services. You have control over whether to share content or support reports.

What kind of picture content is available in Kalinio?

Kalinio includes 609 Kalinio pictures (200 included, 409 downloadable), over 3,400 Mulberry symbols, and themed categories. Users can also add their own photos, labels, and spoken texts, with options for character and skin tone customization where supported.

Is Kalinio available for free?

Kalinio offers a free two-week trial for eligible new subscribers, providing access to all features. After the trial period, a paid monthly or annual subscription is required to continue using the service.

What are the subscription costs for Kalinio?

Kalinio offers a monthly subscription for $4.99 and an annual subscription for $44.99. Both subscription plans include a 14-day free trial period for new users.

Can Kalinio be shared with family members?

Yes, Kalinio can be shared with up to five additional members of your Apple Family Sharing group, allowing multiple users to benefit from the communication aid.
