ComBoard AAC vs Pointalk

ComBoard helps people who can't rely on their own voice say exactly what they mean — 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 — NO SUBSCRIPTION, EVER. Use every feature free for 14 days. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks the whole app forever — 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 • Big, clear keys — large, high-contrast targets are easy to hit, with fewer mis-taps for limited mobility and motor differences. • Speak it out loud — tap Speak and ComBoard reads your message in a clear, natural voice. • Dictate by voice — tap Listen and speak; your words become text you can edit and say. • Hands-free with your eyes — works with Apple's built-in Eye Tracking (iOS 18+): look at a key and hold your gaze to select it, no touch required. • Smart word prediction — suggestions that learn the words and phrases YOU use most, getting faster over time. • Words or emoji — switch the board between letters and emoji with a single tap. • Make it yours — 13 color themes including color-blind-safe palettes, plus adjustable text sizes. • Quick Yes / No — instant answers for everyday moments. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ComBoard collects nothing. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Your learned words live only on your device, speech is synthesized on device, and dictation is processed on device wherever supported. Nothing about how your family communicates is sent to us — because we never receive it. WHO IT'S FOR Nonverbal and minimally verbal children and adults, and anyone living with autism, apraxia, aphasia, ALS, stroke, cerebral palsy, or other conditions that affect speech — plus the parents, carers, teachers, and speech-language therapists who support them. Free for 14 days, then unlock everything with a one‑time purchase of $49.99 — not a subscription. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Tap. Speak. Connect. One voice, one price, forever.

Pointalk is a bedside communication board for people who cannot speak and the people caring for them. Use it when a patient is intubated, after a stroke or surgery, or when patient and staff do not share a language. It is designed for iPad in landscape and also runs on iPhone. Two languages on one screen The patient's language is shown large on top and the staff language small underneath. Choose each from Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish and French. Speak board Cards such as Water please, I need the toilet, It hurts and I'm scared. Tap a card to show it big and read it aloud with the device voice. Often used cards gather at the top. Pain Pick a level from 0 to 10, then tap where it hurts on the front or back of a body figure. Location and level are summarized in one line. Question sets Four built-in sets, Rounds, Needs, Before meals and Feelings, and you can write your own. The patient taps Yes or No and the next question appears. A Yes can lead to follow-ups such as how much it hurts and where. Bed rounds Register room and bed numbers, then ask bed by bed in order. Answers are saved automatically to each bed's records. When the round is done you get a per-bed summary you can share as text. Names are never entered. Board A screen to stand beside the bed: a large clock and date, hospital name and logo, today's schedule, visiting hours, how to call the nurse and short notes, all in the patient's language. When a scheduled time arrives a large popup announces it. Letter board Write with a finger on the handwriting board, or tap letters one at a time. For unsteady hands Turn on press and hold to select so brushing fingers do nothing. Flip the screen 180 degrees to show it to someone sitting across. Records and privacy Everything stays on the device and is never sent anywhere. No personal identifiers such as patient names are stored. You can erase everything in Settings, and export hospital settings and question sets as a file to move to another device. Ads appear only on the staff screens for choosing a set and editing, never on the screens the patient sees. This app is a communication aid and does not replace diagnosis or treatment.
