Personalized Guide Toolkit The MyGuide app is a customizable content management system designed for neurodiverse users and the people who support them. Myguide users build, schedule, and play interactive multimedia guides about any topic or subject, such as activities, tasks, choices, experiences, rules, social interactions, assignments, medications, references, etc. Each account includes a robust multimedia toolkit to build, copy, personalize, schedule, and play guides that present information at the right time and in the right format, and encourage user feedback about what they are doing, thinking, and feeling. Guides and their automatically generated reports of utilization data and responses are stored in a private personal library. Users can share access to their private library, their toolkit, and their reports with other authenticated myguide accounts. Users can also access guide samples and templates from a published catalog of guides developed by clinicians, organizations, and other users. Guides consist of one or more screens that make up one or more sequences, or groups of screens. Guide building tools offer plugins to customize each page with information, prompts, instructions, questions, response options, and more with digital resources like text, images, GIFs, audio, and video that can be customized for size, font, position, and visual effects. Actions can be programmed for any screen or plugin, including visual effects, text-to-speech, go to screen, go to website, add data to report, make media visible or invisible, and more.

Oggy turns your iPhone or iPad into a simple speech board. Tap a button, "I want water," "All done," "I love you" and Oggy says it out loud. That's the whole idea, and it works in seconds. Or build out entire sentences by tapping word buttons. Two modes for two separate needs. It's built for parents, caregivers, and speech-language pathologists who want something fast to set up, easy to learn, and respectful of privacy — without paying the $200+ that traditional AAC apps charge. BUILD A BOARD YOUR WAY Add up to 12 buttons in the free tier — unlock unlimited buttons and a pre-built core board with a $9.99/year subscription. Each button speaks whatever phrase you choose, with the symbol of your choice: a photo from your library, a quick camera shot, or any emoji from your keyboard. Pick a color, arrange the grid the way that makes sense, and rearrange anytime with a long-press and drag. VOICES THAT FIT YOUR FAMILY Choose from the natural voices already on your device, then fine-tune speech rate and pitch with simple sliders until the cadence feels right. Preview any voice before you set it. GENUINELY PRIVATE Everything stays on the device. No accounts, no sign-up, no cloud upload, no analytics, no ads. Buttons, photos, and settings are stored locally. Oggy never phones home — what your family says is nobody else's business. PARENTAL CONTROLS BUILT IN A PIN-protected lock keeps the settings out of small hands, so taps during real conversations never rearrange the board by accident. Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID where supported, with the PIN always available as a fallback. SIMPLE, FAIR PRICING Start free with up to 12 buttons and every core feature — all the voices, full customization, and parental controls. When you're ready for more, unlock unlimited buttons and all future features for $9.99/year. That's a fraction of what traditional AAC apps charge, and it keeps Oggy free of ads and data harvesting. BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO CARES Oggy is made and maintained by a solo developer focused on making communication tools that families can actually afford. Your subscription funds ongoing updates and new features. MORE ON THE WAY Multiple boards (one per child or context — "morning routine," "at school"), predictive next words, cloud backup to move between devices, and additional voices. Every future feature is included with your subscription. MADE FOR • Parents and caregivers of nonverbal or minimally verbal children • Speech-language pathologists and AAC specialists • Adults who use AAC for any reason • Anyone who needs a fast, simple way to say prepared phrases out loud FREE VS. UNLOCKED Free: 12 buttons, all voice features, full parental controls Unlocked ($9.99/year): unlimited buttons, all future features included Questions?
