Sentient Studio vs BeeHop

Sentient Studio makes easy read documents: Stories and Social Narratives, Step-by-Step Guides, Visual Schedules (including Now & Next and First-Then boards), One-Page Profiles, Choice Boards, and Information Pages. If you support someone with a learning disability, autism, or additional needs, this is built for you. Everything stays on your device. No account, no cloud, nothing sent anywhere. You add your own photos, write in plain language, and export a document you can print or share. The app checks your writing as you go. It shows a reading age for whatever you've typed and can simplify a sentence in one tap, cutting jargon, passive voice, and idioms that don't translate well for a literal reader. Exports are properly laid out, not just text dumped onto a page. Pick your paper size, adjust text size, choose a real dyslexia-friendly font if you need one, and control how much fits on a printed page. Every document type and every template is free from the moment you open the app. No sign-up, no subscription, no paywall.

BeeHop is a communication and everyday support app designed for children and young people with additional communication and SEND needs. Built around simple visuals, predictable routines and child-friendly tools, BeeHop can help make communication, transitions, emotions and everyday activities easier to understand and manage. COMMUNICATION Use visual communication cards to help your child express needs, wants, feelings and choices. Build messages and have BeeHop speak them aloud, with personalised cards, photographs and recorded voices. Create cards using symbols, your own photos or colourful illustrations generated with Apple Intelligence using Apple's Image Playground on compatible devices with BeeHop Plus. NOW & LATER Make transitions clearer with This Now / That Later. Choose what’s happening NOW and LATER to give your child a simple visual way to understand what comes next. Choose existing communication cards or create personalised cards directly within This Now / That Later. ROUTINES & MY DAY Create visual routines and use My Day to give your child a clearer picture of their day. From getting ready to bedtime, BeeHop helps break activities into manageable, predictable steps. FEELINGS & WELLBEING Give your child visual ways to communicate how they feel, alongside calming tools designed to support everyday regulation. Choose between expressive illustrations and simpler facial expressions to suit your child’s communication preferences. MADE FOR CAREGIVERS TOO BeeHop includes a protected Caregiver area to personalise your child’s experience, manage profiles and routines, keep wellbeing information and access additional support tools. Customise your child’s Home screen by choosing and arranging sections to suit their needs. CHILD & TEEN EXPERIENCES BeeHop offers dedicated Child and Teen experiences, helping the app feel appropriate as needs and preferences change.
