Currently only available in English, we will add more languages in the future! ______ Your words. Your voice. A board that learns where you are and what you're doing — and puts the right phrases in front of you. Context AAC is for autistic communicators and people with apraxia of speech, aphasia, ALS, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, stroke, or any condition that makes speech hard for others to understand. Tap phrases to build a sentence. Tap Speak. The app says it out loud. Helper bars for connectors, verbs, pronouns, and question words let you grow and reshape your sentence with fewer taps. A grammar tool tidies the words for you — with a quick undo if you change your mind. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Your board changes when you walk into a coffee shop, sit down at school, or get home for the evening. Phrases adapt to your location, the time of day, and what you're doing. • Phrases stay where you put them. Once you learn where a word lives, it stays there. • Core words — pronouns, actions, connectors, and social phrases — are always one tap away. • The board learns what you say most. The phrases you reach for often move closer to the top. • Works without internet after setup. YOUR VOICE Pick a system voice in your language, or use Apple Personal Voice on iOS 17+ to speak in a voice that sounds like you. Record your own voice for any phrase — or a parent's, sibling's, or friend's voice. Adjust speed, pitch, and the pause between words. MAKE IT YOURS Add a photo to a tile. Pick its color. Set it to jump to another category. Create your own categories and phrases. Drag to reorder. Pin favorites. Tell the app your name, pronouns, and interests, and pick a tone — casual, semi-formal, or formal. YOUR PRIVACY IS THE DESIGN Everything stays on your device. There is no account, no cloud sync, and nothing is sent to a server. Your communication history, voice settings, and recordings never leave your device. BUILT FOR HOW YOU USE iOS Full VoiceOver and Switch Control support. Dark, light, and high-contrast themes. Adjustable font size. Reduced motion respected. Configurable behaviors for the back button, board navigation, and grammar undo timing. Context AAC was built around the idea: the right words should be waiting for you, not the other way around.
