What's New in Talking Tiles

1.1

October 20, 2026

Rearrange the tiles on any board • Put the words your child uses most where they expect to find them. Tap the rearrange button at the top of any board, then hold a tile and drag it, or tap a tile and then tap the spot where it should go. • Rearranging is behind the grown-up check, so a child can't scramble their board by accident. • Reset one board from the bar shown while rearranging, or every board at once in Settings → Tile order. Plus small fixes and improvements.

Incredible that this is free

I’ve seen other apps that do similar things, but this one being free is so generous. Thank you!

Talking

Simple, free, and it just works. My child taps a picture and the app says the word out loud, and putting a few together to make a sentence is easy. No account, no ads, works without internet, and the parent lock on settings is a nice touch. Saving the phrases we use most has been a big help. Great app for a child who has trouble speaking.
