Talk Node

Read full description

TalkNode is a communication board for people who cannot speak — after a stroke, with aphasia, dementia or ALS, for autistic children, or for a few days in hospital. Tap a picture card and the phone says the sentence out loud. TalkNode speaks 10 languages: English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese, Italian and Dutch. The buttons, the ready-made cards and the voice all change together. READY FROM THE FIRST MINUTE • A short setup plays the voice first, so you know the phone can talk before anything else. • Three starting boards: an adult cared for at home, a child, or a hospital stay. • Cards for water, food, toilet, pain, medicine, feelings, yes / no and more. MADE TO BE USED EVERY DAY • Big, colourful cards with clear pictures. • "Might need next" suggests the cards you usually tap after this one. • Type to speak, for anything that is not on a card. • Listener mode shows the message in huge letters and flips it to face the person you are talking to. • Choose a female or male voice and the speaking speed. The two voices sound clearly different, even when the phone has only one voice for the language. FOR CAREGIVERS • Make your own cards with your own words, a symbol or a photo. • Reorder, edit or remove cards; your cards are never overwritten. • A caregiver area protected by a 4-digit PIN, so nothing changes by accident. • Medicine reminders. SOS One tap opens your messaging app with a ready-written emergency message to your emergency contacts, including a map link if you allow location. TalkNode never sends anything by itself. PRIVATE BY DESIGN TalkNode has no account, needs no internet connection and sends no data off your device. Cards, photos and usage stay on your phone.

SocialVoice AAC is designed for real-world adult communication — for adults who lose speech to hemiplegic migraine, aphasia, ASD, or other conditions. It replaces the childlike look of traditional AAC with a calm, dignified interface built for real social, medical, and work settings. TAP A TILE — SPEAK A WHOLE PHRASE Your voice, at the speed of conversation. Tap a tile and it speaks a full sentence aloud; build longer phrases and replay them anytime. BOARDS FOR THE MOMENT YOU'RE IN Switch between Everyday, Boundaries & needs, Medical, Work, and your own custom boards — each holds the phrases that matter for that context. SET BOUNDARIES WITH DIGNITY Explain how you communicate, share who you are, and assert boundaries like "Please wait while I type" — on your terms. YOUR OWN WORDS Create and organize custom tiles, adjust the speaking voice, and keep a private identity card that speaks for you. SOCIALVOICE PRO (optional subscription) Communicating is always free. Pro unlocks unlimited custom boards, premium professional themes, and the full Insights history (weekly trend, context split, vocabulary breadth). - Monthly ($4.99) or Annual ($39.99), each with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings SocialVoice is a communication-support tool, not medical care. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. Privacy Policy: https://preview.apppublishing.ai/legal/socialvoice/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://preview.apppublishing.ai/legal/socialvoice/terms
