## What is Speech AAC?

Speech AAC Assist is a professional-grade Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app designed for people with speech disabilities, autism, ALS, stroke recovery, cerebral palsy, and anyone who needs a voice.

COMMUNICATE INSTANTLY
Tap words to build sentences and speak them aloud using real human voices (Adam & Liza) or your device's built-in text-to-speech. Every word is spoken clearly and naturally.

REAL HUMAN VOICES
Choose between two professionally recorded voices — Adam and Liza — with over 3,700 words recorded by real people. When a word isn't recorded, the app seamlessly falls back to text-to-speech so you're never left silent.

YOUR BOARDS, YOUR WAY
Build custom communication boards for every situation — medical appointments, school, home, social settings, and more. Pin your most-used boards to the top for instant access. Includes 12 professionally designed starter boards based on AAC research:
• Core Vocabulary (36 high-frequency words covering 80% of daily communication)
• Quick Phrases
• Feelings & Emotions
• Medical & Health
• Food & Drink
• People & Family
• Places & Activities
• Emergency (speaks immediately — no extra taps)

QUICK ACCESS BAR
Six emergency communication buttons — Help, Yes, No, Stop, Pain, I Need — are always visible on screen and speak instantly with one tap. No building a sentence required.

FULLY ACCESSIBLE
SpeakEasy AAC is built from the ground up for people with disabilities:
• Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AAA compliant
• Full VoiceOver support with labels, hints, and traits on every element
• Switch Control compatible
• Auto-scan mode for single-switch users
• Large touch targets (minimum 60×60pt everywhere)
• High contrast mode
• Adjustable button size, font size, and emoji size
• Reduce Motion support
• Caregiver PIN lock to protect settings

KEYBOARD INPUT
Prefer to type? Switch to keyboard mode and type anything — SpeakEasy will speak it instantly. Great for literate users who need faster input.

MEDICATION REMINDERS
Never miss a dose. Set up daily medication reminders with customizable times and get notified right on your device.

COMMUNICATION LOG
Track progress over time with a built-in communication log. See daily and weekly stats, most-used words, and share reports with therapists and caregivers via CSV export.

WORKS OFFLINE
Everything works completely offline. No internet connection required. No accounts. No subscriptions. Your communication is private and always available.

CAREGIVER & THERAPIST FRIENDLY
PIN-protected settings keep the app configured the way you need it. Caregivers and speech-language pathologists can set up boards, customize vocabulary, and lock the interface so users always see the right layout.

CUSTOMIZABLE EVERYTHING
• 6 background color themes
• Adjustable speech rate and pitch
• 4 word organization modes
• Multiple language support
• Dark mode compatible

SpeakEasy AAC Assist is built with love by PayneBrain Studios — a team dedicated to making technology work for everyone.
