Tap helps children who don't speak β€” or speak only a little β€” say what they want. Tap a picture and it speaks aloud. Tap a few and they build into a simple sentence: "I want juice." Calm, warm, and made for little hands and sensitive senses. No noise, no clutter, no flashing β€” just a gentle, joyful way to be heard. WHAT TAP DOES β€’ Around 600 picture words, grouped into 22 clear categories β€’ Tap to speak; tap a few to build a sentence and say it in one press β€’ 27 languages, spoken with the voices already on your device β€’ Record your own voice for any word β€” a familiar voice is easier for a child to recognize than a computer one β€’ Add your own cards from a photo; Tap can lift the object onto a clean white background β€’ Four card sizes that grow with your child β€” and a word keeps the same spot at every size, so it stays easy to find β€’ First–Then, for getting through a transition one step at a time β€’ Quick phrases your child can say in a single tap β€’ Gesture cue cards (stop, wait, quiet) alongside everyday words FOR PARENTS AND THERAPISTS Everything sits behind a PIN. Hide or reorder cards, swap any picture for your own photo, set how a word should be pronounced, and see which words are getting used in a private progress log you can export. Back the whole board up to a file and restore it on another device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Nothing is collected β€” everything stays on your device. SIMPLE, HONEST PRICING Free to try for a week with everything unlocked. Then unlock Tap forever with one simple purchase β€” no subscription, ever. Give your child a simple way to be heard β€” at home, at school, and everywhere in between. Every tap is a small step toward connection.
