Maven AAC vs Folio AAC

Maven AAC is an offline-first Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app designed to help people express themselves through customizable communication boards, symbols, smart word suggestions, and text-to-speech. Create personalized communication profiles, build boards for daily routines and conversations, add custom tiles, organize vocabulary, and speak messages easily using an intuitive sentence strip. Maven AAC includes intelligent word suggestions to support faster communication, along with flexible layouts, visual symbols, and profile-based customization tailored to individual needs. Designed for AAC users, caregivers, families, educators, and therapists, Maven AAC focuses on reliable everyday communication with core features that work offline — helping users communicate anytime, anywhere.

Folio is private text AAC for people who type to speak. Type a message, tap Speak, or reuse a saved phrase. There is no Folio account, no advertising, and no subscription. TYPE LESS. KEEP CONTROL. • On-device word prediction helps complete the message in front of you. • Private library suggestions surface phrases you chose to save. • On supported Apple Intelligence devices, Folio can offer additional replies using Apple's on-device model. • Suggestions never insert or speak themselves. You choose and can edit every word. COMMUNICATE YOUR WAY • Use Apple system voices and Personal Voice where supported. • Show a message full-screen with Big Display for noisy rooms or across a counter. • Reach a fixed emergency phrase board from its own tab, one tap away from anywhere in the app. • Add optional medical information — blood type, allergies, conditions, an emergency contact — that appears on the emergency board for someone helping you to read. It stays on your device, is never spoken aloud, and Folio does not contact anyone for you. • Search everything you have said, grouped by day, and say any line again with one tap. • Turn on Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed to make similar letters easier to tell apart, for your messages and phrases. • Organize saved phrases into categories and topic boards. • Expand abbreviations, review recent speech, and add pronunciation overrides for names or other important words. • Export a local backup file that you control. IS FOLIO THE RIGHT TOOL? Folio is for people who spell. It is a text composer with prediction, saved phrases and speech: it does not include a picture-symbol library or a symbol grid. If the person you are supporting communicates with symbols rather than letters, a symbol-based AAC app will serve them better, and we would rather you knew that before paying. CONVERSATION MODE, ON DEVICE With your permission, Listen uses Apple's on-device speech recognition to transcribe a conversation partner and suggest possible replies. Microphone and Speech Recognition permissions are optional. If Listen is unavailable or permission is denied, typing and speaking continue to work. Folio does not upload audio, transcripts, drafts, messages, phrase history, medical information or suggestions to KeenShift. Apart from Apple's own App Store purchase check, Folio makes no network requests at all. ACCESSIBILITY BUILT INTO COMMUNICATION Folio's own auto and step scanning covers the Talk and Emergency screens, with adjustable timing and optional spoken highlights. Select a highlighted item with a screen tap. Management screens such as Settings and phrase editing work with iOS Switch Control. Folio also supports VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, a high-contrast setting, dark appearance, large touch targets, and a Settings PIN. FREE CORE. ONE-TIME PRO. Typing, text-to-speech, Listen, Emergency, the medical card, built-in scanning, library suggestions, starter phrases, 20 custom phrases, and 2 topic boards are available without Folio Pro. Folio Pro Lifetime unlocks unlimited custom phrases and boards and, on supported devices, removes the 20-per-day Apple-model suggestion limit. It is one purchase, not a subscription, and supports Family Sharing. The App Store shows your regional price before payment. Folio is a communication tool, not a medical device or emergency service. Keep an appropriate backup way to communicate or seek help. Privacy Policy: https://folio.keenshift.ai/privacy Terms of Use: https://folio.keenshift.ai/terms
