Speech EZ vs Comuginator

This app was made to help kids (or anyone) who has trouble speaking to have an easy way to communicate. We have a son who is severely speech delayed, in speech therapy, and we wanted to make a way for him to simply tap to tell us what he's thinking, and what he needs or wants. Excited to share it in case it can help others as well. NEW in 2.0: • Sentence Builder — Tap multiple tiles to build phrases like "I want milk" or "Mom and Dad." Because "cookie" is communication, but "I want cookie PLEASE" is poetry. • Voice customization — Pick any voice on your device, adjust speed and pitch, and on iOS 17+ use Personal Voice so words come out in Mom's actual voice. Slightly weird, deeply useful. • Share your setup — Export your tiles and photos to send to grandparents, babysitters, or speech therapists — anyone who keeps asking "wait, what does that one mean?" • Photo cropping — Pinch and re-crop tile photos any time. Nobody's first shot of Grandma is ever the right one. Features: • One-tap text-to-speech for any word or phrase • Ready-to-go vocabulary in 5 categories: People, Food & Drink, Commands, Activities, Colors • Sentence builder for stringing tiles into full thoughts • Personalize with your own photos, titles, and tile order • Add custom tiles for the things your kid actually cares about (we see you, "tortoise") • Share entire tile setups with one tap • Pick your voice, speed, and pitch — including iOS Personal Voice • 100% on-device — no internet needed, no data leaves your phone

Comuginator is a picture-based communication app (AAC) that helps families stay connected with children and loved ones who communicate using symbols instead of, or alongside, speech. Create a personalized board of picture tiles, send messages with response choices, and let your child reply by simply tapping a card. Everything stays private within your family group. FEATURES • Picture communication boards — build menus and tiles tailored to your child • Send messages with suggested responses — the recipient replies by tapping a card • Roles for the whole family — parents manage, children communicate • ARASAAC symbol library — search thousands of free pictograms • Add your own photos — use the camera or photo library for custom cards • Home screen widget for quick access • Push notifications so you never miss a message • Schedules to show or hide content at the right times • Available in English, Spanish, and Russian Comuginator is designed to be set up and managed by parents and caregivers, giving children a simple, friendly way to express needs, make choices, and connect with the people who matter most.
