ComBoard helps people who can't rely on their own voice say exactly what they mean β by tapping, dictating, or even just looking. It's a full augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) app built to be simple, warm, and genuinely accessible. TRY IT FREE, THEN ONE PRICE β NO SUBSCRIPTION, EVER. Use every feature free for 14 days. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks the whole app forever β on all your family's iPhones and iPads, with no subscription, no ads, and no recurring fees. AAC shouldn't cost thousands of dollars or lock your child's voice behind a monthly bill. The voice your family depends on should never expire because a payment lapsed. BUILT FOR EVERY ABILITY β’ Big, clear keys β large, high-contrast targets are easy to hit, with fewer mis-taps for limited mobility and motor differences. β’ Speak it out loud β tap Speak and ComBoard reads your message in a clear, natural voice. β’ Dictate by voice β tap Listen and speak; your words become text you can edit and say. β’ Hands-free with your eyes β works with Apple's built-in Eye Tracking (iOS 18+): look at a key and hold your gaze to select it, no touch required. β’ Smart word prediction β suggestions that learn the words and phrases YOU use most, getting faster over time. β’ Words or emoji β switch the board between letters and emoji with a single tap. β’ Make it yours β 13 color themes including color-blind-safe palettes, plus adjustable text sizes. β’ Quick Yes / No β instant answers for everyday moments.
