The screen shows large picture cards with the word written underneath — tap a card and it speaks, with the voice a parent or therapist recorded. DESIGNED FOR FOCUS • Large, easy-to-tap cards with generous spacing • A calm, distraction-free interface: no ads, no popups, nothing to accidentally break out of • Settings are protected by a parent lock • Sound plays even when the device is muted SCENES FOR EVERY SITUATION Cards are organized into scenes — Home, Kindergarten, Transport, or anything you create. The caregiver chooses which scene the child sees, remotely, so the right words are always on screen. WORKS TOGETHER WITH COMBRIDGE ADMIN A parent, teacher, or therapist manages everything from the free ComBridge Admin app on their own phone: • Add cards with a photo and a recorded voice • Organize cards into scenes and choose which one is shown • See the last 5 cards the child tapped — even if they didn't hear them PRIVATE AND OFFLINE Devices pair with a QR code or a 4-digit code, then reconnect automatically. Everything travels directly between the two devices over Bluetooth — no internet, no account, no cloud, no data collection.
