Talkr is an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app for non-verbal users and their families. Communication shouldn't depend on a waiting list. Whether you're supporting someone with autism, aphasia, ALS, a stroke recovery, or any other speech difference, Talkr gives them a voice from day one. HOW IT WORKS Tap pictures to build sentences. Each tap speaks the word aloud. Combine words to express needs, feelings and ideas. Your loved one can finally say "I'm hungry", "I'm tired", "I want to go home". KEY FEATURES • 3,400+ AAC illustrations with multilingual search • Quick Phrases: 30 ready-made phrases for daily life • Custom categories, words and recorded voices • Sentence prediction that learns from how you communicate • PDF export for printable communication boards (Pro) • Sync across all your devices via your free Talkr account • Share boards with family, teachers, caregivers WHO IT'S FOR • Children with autism or developmental delay • Adults with aphasia, ALS, stroke recovery • Speech therapists, special education teachers • Families building communication tools at home WHY TALKR We built Talkr because waiting months for a prescribed AAC device while someone sits silent is unacceptable. Talkr is available today, on the iPad or iPhone you already own, at a price that doesn't bankrupt families. PRICING Free: 10 boards, 100 words, full sync and sharing. Pro unlocks unlimited boards, words and PDF export. Choose monthly, annual, or one-time lifetime — see local prices in app. PRIVACY Your data stays yours. We never sell information, never show ads, never use your communication for AI training. Account deletion is one tap and removes everything from our servers.
