RomaTalk: AAC Talking Cards

RomaTalk’s talking picture cards help autistic children, nonverbal kids and late talkers communicate, and also teens and adults who find speaking hard. Your child taps a picture and the app says the word out loud. It is an AAC app (augmentative and alternative communication) for home, preschool and school: communication cards, a visual schedule, social stories, emotion cards, a token board and practice. Communication board, no reading needed Made for nonverbal kids: no reading or typing needed. Almost 2,000 talking cards in English are sorted by topic: food, things, places, people, daily routine. A few cards make a phrase, like “Mom, I want juice,” and the app says it as one sentence. Key words sit on the “Quick cards” panel, favorite cards in “Favorites,” and “Hard moment” keeps cards for tough times at hand. Your own cards with photo, video and voice Take a photo of a toy, a cup or grandma, type the word and record it in your own voice. You can also film a short video of an action. Without a recording, the word is read by the device voice or by your Personal Voice, if you made one on your iPhone. Cards can be printed. Visual schedule The daily routine in pictures: morning, afternoon, evening. Show one step, a “First → Then” board or the whole plan. A “Wait time” step with a timer shows how long is left. Your child marks each finished step. Social stories in pictures Short stories about new events: a haircut, a visit. Pick one or make your own from photos and phrases, and a voice reads each page. Emotion and feelings cards “How are you?”: your child picks a feeling and shows how strong it is. The answer is saved in the diary. Token board with a reward You choose a goal and a reward, and your child sees how many tokens are left to collect. Visual choice Like a choice board: your child sees 2, 3 or 4 cards and shows what they want. Practice 13 exercises with picture cards, including “Find the card,” “Yes or no,” “First letter” and “Tidy up.” There is no way to fail: a wrong card disappears and the word is said again. Ready-made sets such as “First words,” your own practice, one-button lesson plans and statistics on which cards your child already knows. Diary, communication passport and summary Mark the time with one tap and add what happened later. It is only a count of your entries: RomaTalk does not look for causes, does not assess anything and gives no advice. The “Communication passport” tells new people how your child communicates, and the “Summary for a specialist” lists the cards your child tapped in a PDF. For the whole family Each child gets a profile, and there are profiles for teens and adults. Card sets, schedules and practice can be sent to another phone. The settings are protected by a PIN. On iPhone and iPad, the app shows you step by step how to turn on Guided Access so your child stays in RomaTalk. Offline, no ads RomaTalk works without internet. No ads, no sign-up and no account. Cards, photos, voice recordings and notes stay only on the device. 48 languages, phone and tablet The interface and the cards come in 48 languages, including English and Spanish.

RomaTalk is made by one person: support it in “Support the project.” RomaTalk is a communication and learning tool.
