Visual Talker is simple AAC that learns how you talk. Tap a sentence you use every day and it's spoken at once. Build something new from your own words, and Visual Talker learns which words come next. Made for people who speak, read, gesture, or think in routine phrases: autistic children and teens moving from single words to sentences, adults with aphasia or apraxia, and anyone who has lost their speech for a while. Use it on its own or alongside a full AAC system, with almost no setup. SAY IT IN ONE TAP • Saved sentences become voice tiles: tap one and it's spoken • Build a new sentence word by word on the strip, then Speak • Matching sentences appear as you build, so familiar phrases are always close • History keeps what you've said, ready to say again LEARNS FROM YOU • Every sentence you speak teaches its words and the order they come in • The words you're most likely to need next come first • Start with 126 words with pictures and 87 everyday sentences YOUR WORDS, YOUR VOICE • Add your own words and sentences • Use your own photos, take one with the camera, or choose a starter picture • Record your own voice for any word or sentence, or use the device voice VISUAL TALKER PLUS (OPTIONAL) • Cloud sync: the same words, sentences, pictures, and recordings on iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Make a Picture: a clear, friendly picture for any word, drawn for what it is (a person, a place, food, an action), 50 new pictures a month (10 free to try).
