iMyVoice turns an iPhone, iPad or Mac into a voice for people who cannot rely on speech — children with autism or apraxia, adults recovering from a stroke, anyone whose words do not come easily. Build a communication board, tap a cell, and the app speaks. OVER 12,000 BUILT-IN SYMBOLS Find a symbol by typing a word in the app's language. When the built-in symbol is not the right one, use your own photo or a video from your library. iMyVoice is available in English, Hebrew, Russian and Romanian. BOARDS THAT FIT THE PERSON Pick a layout, from one large cell up to a 5×5 page. Set the background colour, border colour and width, text size and weight for each cell, with the text above or below the picture. Link cells to other pages, to a video or to YouTube, so the vocabulary grows with its user. VISUAL SCENES Use a real photograph — a kitchen, a classroom, a family picture — and place hotspots directly on it. For many people, pointing at a scene they recognise is far easier than navigating a grid of symbols. REAL VOICES, NOT JUST SYNTHETIC ONES Speak with the system voices at whatever rate suits the user, or record a human voice for any cell — a parent's voice, a sibling's, the user's own from before. Each tap speaks the word and adds it to the sentence bar. FOR FAMILIES, THERAPISTS AND CLASSROOMS With a subscription, separate profiles keep each user's boards apart. Boards and users share by AirDrop, so what you build at a clinic arrives at home intact. ACCESSIBLE The board, the sentence bar and the symbol pickers work with VoiceOver, and animations respect Reduce Motion. WHO USES IT Families, speech and language therapists, special education teachers, and rehabilitation clinics working with autism, apraxia of speech, aphasia, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, stroke and traumatic brain injury.

Read full description

Jellow Plus Communicator is a friendly Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) system that uses icons/images to enable aid communication in adults learning to speak or with difficulty with speech and language. Jellow Plus helps non-verbal adults to communicate by constructing their own phrases/sentences and gradually learn to speak - especially those with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, and Down’s syndrome. Jellow Plus is also an extension of Jellow Basic. It has all the icons and much more in this version. The expressive buttons, which were part of the Emotional Language Protocol (ELP) driving Jellow Basic, are available in Jellow Plus. These features make it easy for children using Jellow Basic to graduate to Jellow Plus as they grow up, making it possible to communicate better. Jellow Plus is designed especially for adults and can be used to form words, phrases and sentences frequently used in their daily lives. Jellow’s library of icons can help adults communicate using pictures along with their corresponding word labels. Jellow Plus has a library of around 5000(?) icons designed specially with feedback from users. These are organized in different categories based on parts of the speech to make it convenient to form a sentence. Some of these categories are verbs, adverbs, adjectives, nouns, expressions, etc. In addition, using the 'keyboard' feature, the user can also generate new sentences and use the app to speak them out aloud. The current version of the app allows the user to choose English language with multiple accents Indian, American, British, Australia, Nigeria along with a choice of voices. Other languages are being introduced. Jellow Plus is developed with support from the IDC School of Design at IIT Bombay, UNICEF, the Ministry and Hospitals. It is designed iteratively with regular feedback from users namely children, parents, therapists, teachers and care givers. Jellow Plus is a premium application which requires subscription to use the application.
