Abbar vs MyBella

Abbar is an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) app built for people who cannot speak or who struggle with speech and communication. It uses picture cards with ready-made phrases, spoken aloud in a clear, natural voice with a single tap. Abbar is suited for children and adults on the autism spectrum, speech delay, stuttering, post-stroke recovery, and any situation that calls for an alternative way to communicate. Highlights: • 8+ categories of ready-made cards: essentials, feelings and health, body parts, family, actions, responses, questions, and time and place • A row of urgent cards spoken instantly with no need to build a sentence (help, bathroom, thirsty, tired...) • Build a sentence from multiple words and hear it spoken as one • Add any new word or card with a photo or icon the user picks • Add family members by name and photo as ready-to-use cards • Record the user's own voice on any card, for a real, personal voice alternative • 17 high-quality human voices matched to age and gender (adult, elder, child) across every card in the app, plus the device's built-in voice for custom cards and newly typed words • Full English support throughout the app, alongside formal Arabic • A Gulf dialect option, during first-time setup or anytime from Settings • Custom profiles for every user: a simplified board for young children, and a large-card board for elders • Add a real photo to any card, not just an emoji icon • One-tap full backup and restore of all data (cards, family members, settings) • Caregiver coaching tips inside Settings, supporting AAC communication style at home • Works fully offline after install, no external servers and no data collection • All data (custom cards, family members, voice recordings) is stored on the user's own device only Abbar is not a demo. It is a daily communication tool built to be simple, fast, and reliable in the moment a user needs to express themselves.

MyBella is an adaptive Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app designed to make personally meaningful words easier to find, choose, and speak. Many AAC boards are static: the same vocabulary stays in the same place regardless of the person, their routine, or the moment. That can leave an important word buried behind several categories. MyBella helps close that gap by personalizing the board around the user’s real life and bringing potentially useful vocabulary closer—without deciding what the user wants to say. The user always makes the final choice. HOW MYBELLA WORKS • Build and speak messages: Tap picture symbols to form a sentence, then hear it spoken aloud using the device’s built-in voice. • Adaptive suggestions: MyBella recognizes patterns in which words are selected and when, helping prioritize vocabulary that may be useful at that time. • Routine awareness: Caregivers can add a recurring daily schedule so relevant words may be suggested up to 45 minutes before an activity. • Personalized vocabulary: Build the board around the people, places, foods, activities, and phrases that matter to the individual. • Custom AI-drawn symbols: Enter a word and describe how it should look. MyBella creates a matching visual in the same clean, consistent style as the rest of the board. • Five supported languages: Communicate in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, or Arabic, including right-to-left support for Arabic and translated custom words. • Text-to-speech: Choose from voices installed on the device. Speech works offline and does not require a per-word fee. • Caregiver dashboard: A PIN-protected space gives caregivers control of routines, custom vocabulary, and personalization settings. • Accessibility controls: Adjust text, buttons, symbol size, colors, contrast, and motion to create a calmer, more usable interface. • Personal avatar: Customize a friendly avatar that can reflect the last feeling the user shared. WHAT MAKES MYBELLA DIFFERENT MyBella combines adaptive vocabulary, schedule-aware suggestions, multilingual communication, and custom symbol generation in one calm interface. Its AI does not speak for the user or claim to know what they are thinking. It narrows the search while preserving communication autonomy. Profiles, schedules, and custom words are stored on the device by default rather than pooled into a shared user dataset. WHY MYBELLA EXISTS Founder Ashley created MyBella after visiting her cousin Isabella in Brazil and seeing how few useful, affordable communication tools were available to her. Ashley continued learning through her work with ACEing Autism and spent the following year developing and refining the app with Isabella and her family. MyBella was built from that experience: communication should be personal, accessible, affordable, and able to travel across homes, schools, clinics, languages, and countries. MyBella is intended to support communication. It does not diagnose or treat a condition and does not replace guidance from a speech-language pathologist or other qualified professional.
