Turn familiar communication boards into speech. InnerVoice helps autistic and nonspeaking people express choices, share ideas and join conversations. AAC FOR EVERYDAY MOMENTS Use InnerVoice on iPhone and iPad in English or Spanish. Communicate with board buttons, typing and speech. Say yes, say no, ask a question or request a break—the communicator chooses the message. BRING A FAMILIAR BOARD TO LIFE With Full Access, photograph a communication board or import a board image to create a talking board. Review the recognized words and layout, make corrections and save it for everyday use. Results depend on image quality and board complexity. EXPLORE WORDS TOGETHER Full Access includes: • Scene Talk: find words and phrases connected to a photo. • AI-assisted board creation and editing. • Conversation practice using vocabulary from the current board. • Advanced voices and image generation. • Goals, communication evidence, language samples and manual export for EASI. Families, educators and speech-language professionals can review the results together. AI responses may need correction; InnerVoice does not diagnose conditions or independently decide that a clinical goal has been met. TRY FULL ACCESS FOR 7 DAYS Eligible subscribers can choose Monthly or Annual Full Access and confirm Apple's free seven-day introductory trial in the app. Downloading alone does not activate the trial. During an active trial, the same premium features are available as on a paid plan, subject to usage allowances. Apple determines eligibility and displays your local price and billing period before you confirm. After the trial, the selected subscription automatically renews at that price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Subsequent renewals continue unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in Apple Account settings. Both plans include the same premium features; cloud features require internet access. BASIC COMMUNICATION STAYS AVAILABLE Choose Basic without subscribing. Use saved boards, manual board creation and editing, your own still photos, free on-device voices and basic local conversation practice. These core tools remain available when a subscription ends. Historical lifetime purchasers retain their core tools and can restore their purchase. Premium AI, cloud services, advanced voices, goals, tracking and transcript export require Full Access. YOUR WORDS, YOUR CONTROL Working boards are stored on the device. Subscribers may back up boards to their own iCloud. Cloud features send the information needed for the requested function. InnerVoice is a communication support tool, not a medical device.
