Linggo makes communication accessible for people who have difficulty speaking. Linggo is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) platform that comprises 2 applications, Linggo Learner and Linggo Coach. Designed with a behaviour analytic perspective and created in collaboration with Speech-Language Pathologists, Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Linggo incorporates evidence-based strategies to support the development of language, functional communication, speech and literacy skills (sight reading), while monitoring progress using data driven technology. The Linggo Learner app is intended for individuals who have difficulty or are unable to speak. The Linggo Coach app is intended for clinicians, care partners and parents who wish to monitor progress. Intuitive Interface Word finding is made easier when words appear based on personal context, relevance and grammatical order. Linggo Library With a robust library of over 4000 words with grammatical markers, users can create and add meaningful vocabulary to help the individual build their language skills. All images are licensed from TobiiDynavox. Language Trees (Communicator) Teach sentence structures through Language Trees. Whether you're just beginning with nouns or teaching subject-verb-object combinations, Linggo can be customized to grow with the Learner's language profile. Free Form Generative novel phrases and sentences in the moment and as needed. Use Linggo’s library or photos/images from your own device to spontaneously generate novel words, phrases and sentences. Quick Chat Functional communication is made easier with Quickchat. Phrases such as “I need the washroom.” “My way, please” and “Help me” can be expressed easily through a single tap. Transition to Text Linggo offers the Transition To Text feature which encourages the Learner to learn sight words rather than relying solely on pictures and symbols to communicate. When Transition To Text is enabled, the picture associated with the text fades or reduces in size over time, eventually disappearing to display the text (sight word) only. Transition to Speak Linggo offers the Transition to Speak feature which uses a time delay (1 to 10 seconds) to encourage the Learner to use their voice. When this feature is enabled, the word remains silent when selected - giving the Learner the opportunity to practice their speech. Coaches and Progress Reports The support and feedback of Coaches are critical and mandatory components for the success of AAC intervention - which is why we included Coaches as active users too. Coaches collect data on Learner’s communication, which is then graphed across progress reports to help make evidence informed decisions. As an authorized BACB ACE provider, Linggo offers training/education to clinicians, parents and anyone interested in learning more. ** Learner accounts can be accessed through iPads/iPhones that allow for the latest iOS updates. Linggo Coach accounts can be accessed on any iOS mobile device.
LUMI Voice

Their words matter. The melody matters too. LUMI Voice is a calm talker for gestalt language processors and autistic communicators — built so families can keep the phrases, scripts, and loops that already feel like home, then grow from there without forcing a keyboard AAC grid. We believe communication starts with what your child already says — not with wiping the slate clean. WHAT YOUR CHILD SEES • A simple shelf: Safety, Phrases, Mix pieces, Favorites, and Loops • Double-tap a tile to speak — that’s the whole child UI • Short video loops they love (from camera, Photos, or YouTube) that can live next to their words • Optional interest skins so the play shelves feel like them IPAD AND IPHONE — SAME CHILD, TWO JOBS • iPad is the home base — the big talker for the table, couch, or therapy room, with every shelf in view • iPhone is the companion — pocket AAC when you’re out and about, or when a caregiver needs quick Setup away from the iPad • Same Apple ID / care circle and the same child: phrases, loops, and mix pieces stay in sync across both • On iPhone, shelves are one tab at a time (Safety · Phrases · Loops · Mix) with larger tiles so little fingers still work • Caregiver tools open full-screen on iPhone; on iPad they stay as the familiar hold-to-open panel • Share to LUMI is especially handy on iPhone — send a clip from Photos or YouTube, trim, and it lands on the shelf WHAT YOU DO AS THE CAREGIVER • Hold Caregiver tools (~1.5s) to open setup — optional PIN so little hands stay on the talker • Record short voice memos in your voice for the phrases your child needs • Grow new phrases that keep their melody (“More like this”) • Turn one favorite phrase into Mix pieces they can tap together • Optional Parent voice: record once (~30s) so new short phrases can sound like you — re-record any tile anytime • See Intent translations when you want that “oh — that’s what they meant” moment • Export a language progress PDF when you’re heading to the IEP table LUMI VOICE PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) • Safety shelf + basic playback • Premium is for understanding and growing their language — not for locking the talker LUMI Voice is from the same team as Moonbow. Same belief: meet your child where they are, protect what’s working, and help the next words feel possible. Not a medical device. Not a symbol-grid AAC. Not a robot voice replacing your family. Just their words — and room to grow. Support: team@synalume.com Privacy: https://moonbow.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
