## What is Tacit AAC?

Two taps to be understood.

Tacit is for people who cannot rely on speech. Type or tap what you need to
say, then hold your phone up so the person in front of you can read it — or
let your phone say it out loud.

No setup. No sign-up. No learning a system of symbols.


SHOW IT, LARGE

Write a sentence and put the keyboard away. The words grow to fill the screen,
big enough to read across a counter, a hospital bed, or a noisy room. Turn the
phone around and you have been understood.


OR SPEAK IT

One tap reads your sentence aloud in a natural voice. Choose the voice you
want and how fast it speaks. It works with the ring switch off, so you are
heard even on silent.


READY FOR WHERE YOU ARE

Six situations — restaurant, medical, travel, transport, shopping and
emergency — each holding the phrases that place actually needs. Tap the
situation, tap the phrase. Edit any of them, or build situations of your own
for the places you go.


THE THINGS A GESTURE CANNOT SAY

A row of everyday icons along the bottom of the home screen: water, a
restroom, a charger, a pharmacy, a taxi. One tap shows the icon large with the
sentence underneath, ready to speak.


MY CARD

Your name, conditions, allergies, medications and emergency contacts on one
card you can hold up without typing anything. Useful in a waiting room, at a
pharmacy counter, or any moment when explaining is the hard part.


ACROSS LANGUAGES

Show the same sentence in another language, large and clear. Useful abroad,
and useful at home when the person in front of you speaks a different one.


HELP FINDING THE WORDS

Rough notes become a complete sentence. Type "water please" and get "Could I
have some water, please?" On iPhone 15 Pro and newer this runs on the device
itself. Everywhere else it uses a private connection — and if there is no
connection at all, Tacit falls back to built-in phrases so you are never left
with nothing.


PLAN A DAY

Describe what your day looks like and Tacit suggests the phrases it will need,
ready before you are standing there.


BUILT TO BE TRUSTED

Your saved phrases, your name and photo, and everything on My Card stay on
your phone. What you send to be reworded or translated is not kept — not by
us, and not by the company whose model does the work. No ads, no analytics,
no tracking, nothing sold.


WHO IT IS FOR

People living with ALS, aphasia, a stroke, Parkinson's, autism, selective
mutism, a laryngectomy, or a throat injury. People recovering from surgery.
Anyone whose voice has gone quiet, for a week or for good.


SUBSCRIPTION

Tacit is $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year, and starts with a free trial. Every
feature is included in both plans — there is no cut-down version. Cancel any
