Word suggestions appear as you type, five caregiver-editable Quick Phrases cover urgent moments, and Recent keeps the last 20 phrases one tap away. Fully usable with a Bluetooth keyboard. BOARDS THAT HOLD STILL Motor planning matters. Tiles live at fixed positions on a grid you choose (3×4 up to 6×10 per board), empty cells are fine, and nothing ever rearranges itself. Hide a tile and its space stays quietly blank — introduce vocabulary at your learner's pace without moving what they already know.
