About

Anansy

Features
Read full description

Made to be read, heard and seen. Anansy helps you communicate with people who use AAC (augmentative and alternative communication). Just speak, and Anansy turns what you say into a clear sequence of symbols that AAC users can see and understand right away. Conversations shouldn't have to wait. Finding the right symbols by hand on a board or device takes time and breaks the flow of a conversation. Anansy does that work for you, so you can talk at a natural pace and your message still comes across visually.
