Tom Taps vs Friendly Voice App™

Tom Taps is a picture board for children who don't speak, or don't speak yet. Tap pictures to build a sentence and the app says it out loud. A father built it for his son Tom, with help from Tom's speech-language pathologist. The first version came out in 2014. What you get for free: • A core word grid that stays in the same place, so your child learns where each word is • Hundreds of picture cards for people, actions, feelings, food and places • Your own cards with your photos and words • Separate boards for home, school and therapy • A modeling mode, so you can show words without changing your child's sentence • Clear text-to-speech Tom Taps Pro is $29.99, paid once: • All six vocabulary packs (medical, school, feelings, food, play, community) • A weekly coach that looks at how your child communicates and suggests next steps. It runs on your device and sends nothing to us. • iCloud sync across your devices Packs are also sold one at a time for $1.99 to $3.99. Words use the Fitzgerald Key colors that therapists already use. Boards are saved in the open OBF format, so you can take them to another app. We collect no data. There are no ads and no account to create. Questions: support@tomtaps.com

Friendly Voice App is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) application designed to empower non-verbal individuals, particularly those with autism or developmental delays, to communicate effectively. The app provides a highly customizable grid of buttons that, when tapped, speak words or phrases in English, Arabic, and Spanish. The app focuses on simplicity, portability, and bilingual support, allowing users to build sentences, navigate through categories (folders), and personalize their communication board with their own photos and colors. Features include: **Seamless Multi-lingual Support** • Triple Language Mastery: Effortlessly switch between English, Arabic, and Spanish. • Intelligent Translation: Built-in Google ML Kit support automatically translates labels between English, Arabic and Spanish as you create buttons. • Dialect Detection: High-quality voices with human-readable labels (e.g., "Egypt - Female") and automatic identification of regional Arabic dialects. **AI-Driven Personalization** • Smart Layout Suggestions: Our AI analyzes your usage patterns to suggest moving your most-used words to the top for faster access. • Vocabulary Growth: The app proactively suggests missing essential words like "Help" or "Please" based on your communication style. • Reasoned Recommendations: Every suggestion comes with a clear explanation, putting you in full control of your layout. **Intuitive Learning & Navigation** • Interactive Onboarding: A guided "Hole-Punch" tutorial uses spotlight effects and animations to teach you how to build sentences and reorganize your grid. • Word-by-Word Highlighting: Follow along easily as the app highlights each word in red in real-time as it is spoken. Smart Speech: Hear new words instantly as you tap, or play back the entire sentence by tapping the sentence bar. • Hierarchical Folders: Organize your world into deep categories with customizable grid sizes for every page. **Full Creative Control** • Drag-and-Drop Editing: Simply double-tap to lift and move buttons to reorganize your board instantly. • Personalized Visuals: Use your own photos, take a live picture, or search the professional ARASAAC symbol library. • Custom Styling: Total control over color coding, font sizes, text alignment, and smart overlays to ensure readability on any background. • Quick-Type Keyboard: A dedicated keyboard for one-off words or specific names not yet on your board. **Reliable & Transparent** • 30-Day Free Trial: Experience every feature with a transparent countdown and no hidden hurdles. • Unlock Forever: We believe in simple ownership.
