Friendly Voice App™ vs Tacit AAC

Friendly Voice App is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) application designed to empower non-verbal individuals, particularly those with autism or developmental delays, to communicate effectively. The app provides a highly customizable grid of buttons that, when tapped, speak words or phrases in English, Arabic, and Spanish. The app focuses on simplicity, portability, and bilingual support, allowing users to build sentences, navigate through categories (folders), and personalize their communication board with their own photos and colors. Features include: **Seamless Multi-lingual Support** • Triple Language Mastery: Effortlessly switch between English, Arabic, and Spanish. • Intelligent Translation: Built-in Google ML Kit support automatically translates labels between English, Arabic and Spanish as you create buttons. • Dialect Detection: High-quality voices with human-readable labels (e.g., "Egypt - Female") and automatic identification of regional Arabic dialects. **AI-Driven Personalization** • Smart Layout Suggestions: Our AI analyzes your usage patterns to suggest moving your most-used words to the top for faster access. • Vocabulary Growth: The app proactively suggests missing essential words like "Help" or "Please" based on your communication style. • Reasoned Recommendations: Every suggestion comes with a clear explanation, putting you in full control of your layout. **Intuitive Learning & Navigation** • Interactive Onboarding: A guided "Hole-Punch" tutorial uses spotlight effects and animations to teach you how to build sentences and reorganize your grid. • Word-by-Word Highlighting: Follow along easily as the app highlights each word in red in real-time as it is spoken. Smart Speech: Hear new words instantly as you tap, or play back the entire sentence by tapping the sentence bar. • Hierarchical Folders: Organize your world into deep categories with customizable grid sizes for every page. **Full Creative Control** • Drag-and-Drop Editing: Simply double-tap to lift and move buttons to reorganize your board instantly. • Personalized Visuals: Use your own photos, take a live picture, or search the professional ARASAAC symbol library. • Custom Styling: Total control over color coding, font sizes, text alignment, and smart overlays to ensure readability on any background. • Quick-Type Keyboard: A dedicated keyboard for one-off words or specific names not yet on your board. **Reliable & Transparent** • 30-Day Free Trial: Experience every feature with a transparent countdown and no hidden hurdles. • Unlock Forever: We believe in simple ownership. A one-time premium purchase unlocks the full power of Friendly Voice permanently. • Session Sync: Your preferences and premium status are securely synced across sessions, ensuring your voice is always ready when you are. • Easy Import/Export (.fva format): Want to share a specific vocabulary set or save a local copy? Use our custom .fva (Friendly Voice Asset) format to export your entire setup into a single, compressed file.

Two taps to be understood. Tacit is for people who cannot rely on speech. Type or tap what you need to say, then hold your phone up so the person in front of you can read it — or let your phone say it out loud. No setup. No sign-up. No learning a system of symbols. SHOW IT, LARGE Write a sentence and put the keyboard away. The words grow to fill the screen, big enough to read across a counter, a hospital bed, or a noisy room. Turn the phone around and you have been understood. OR SPEAK IT One tap reads your sentence aloud in a natural voice. Choose the voice you want and how fast it speaks. It works with the ring switch off, so you are heard even on silent. READY FOR WHERE YOU ARE Six situations — restaurant, medical, travel, transport, shopping and emergency — each holding the phrases that place actually needs. Tap the situation, tap the phrase. Edit any of them, or build situations of your own for the places you go. THE THINGS A GESTURE CANNOT SAY A row of everyday icons along the bottom of the home screen: water, a restroom, a charger, a pharmacy, a taxi. One tap shows the icon large with the sentence underneath, ready to speak. MY CARD Your name, conditions, allergies, medications and emergency contacts on one card you can hold up without typing anything. Useful in a waiting room, at a pharmacy counter, or any moment when explaining is the hard part. ACROSS LANGUAGES Show the same sentence in another language, large and clear. Useful abroad, and useful at home when the person in front of you speaks a different one. HELP FINDING THE WORDS Rough notes become a complete sentence. Type "water please" and get "Could I have some water, please?" On iPhone 15 Pro and newer this runs on the device itself. Everywhere else it uses a private connection — and if there is no connection at all, Tacit falls back to built-in phrases so you are never left with nothing. PLAN A DAY Describe what your day looks like and Tacit suggests the phrases it will need, ready before you are standing there. BUILT TO BE TRUSTED Your saved phrases, your name and photo, and everything on My Card stay on your phone. What you send to be reworded or translated is not kept — not by us, and not by the company whose model does the work. No ads, no analytics, no tracking, nothing sold. WHO IT IS FOR People living with ALS, aphasia, a stroke, Parkinson's, autism, selective mutism, a laryngectomy, or a throat injury. People recovering from surgery. Anyone whose voice has gone quiet, for a week or for good. SUBSCRIPTION Tacit is $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year, and starts with a free trial. Every feature is included in both plans — there is no cut-down version. Cancel any time in Settings. Privacy policy: https://tacitaac.vercel.app/privacy Support: https://tacitaac.vercel.app/support
