Augmentative and alternative communication

Whatever needs
saying.

When your own voice falters, these tools carry it for you. Nine of them, each built for one real person rather than an average one, ready to keep pace as speech, energy and movement change. Everything you say stays on your device, yours alone.

The Speak Freely board on a desktop, with quick word and phrase tiles, locked Yes, No, Help, Stop, Pain and Toilet buttons, and a row of predicted next words.
Speak Freely. Type a word or tap a tile and it speaks. The board remembers the phrases you reach for, so the next word is usually already waiting.

Where it came from

It started at a kitchen table.

One man built the first tool for someone in his own family who was losing the ability to speak. A degenerative illness was taking the words faster than anything on the market could keep up with, and what he could find was too clinical, too slow, or simply out of reach.

So he wrote his own. Then another, and another, each one shaped around what that person actually needed that day. Fewer taps. Bigger targets. The few phrases that mattered kept close at hand. It was never about covering every case. It was about letting one person keep saying the things they wanted to say, for as long as they could.

Building for a real person, never an average one, still shapes every decision we make.

Nine ways to be heard

One suite, ready for any kind of day.

Some people settle into a single tool. Most move between a few. They share one voice, one vocabulary and one set of settings, so moving from one to another never feels like starting over.

Speak your Point open at its home topics, with large picture tiles for Food and Beverage, Comfort, Family and Friends, and Assistance Needed.

Speak your Point

Point at pictures to build what you want to say. The topics follow the shape of a real day, from a morning cup of tea to asking for help, so the right tile is a glance away rather than a hunt.

The Head Said start screen, a head tracking and switch scan keyboard that can be driven by spacebar, blink, mouth open or dwell.

Head Said

No hands required. A look, a blink, or a single switch moves through the keyboard and makes the choice for you. When movement shrinks to almost nothing, this is the tool that keeps a voice within reach.

Your Voice, with a list of saved phrases and a recorder used to capture and keep a person's own speech.

Your Voice

Record yourself while you still can, and keep that sound. Later, the words you type can be spoken in your own voice, the one your family knows, rather than a stranger's. The recordings never leave your device.

And five more, for lighter days and smaller screens

Speak n Go on a phone, with a search box and tappable phrase chips such as Can I order lunch and Can we call my family.

Speak n Go

The full talker, sized for the phone in your pocket. One thumb, a quick search, and the sentence is ready before the moment passes.

Speak Simply on a phone, a calm grid of single tap phrases including Yes, No, Maybe, Please repeat, Thank you and Stop.

Speak Simply

A calm grid of the words people reach for most. Yes, no, maybe, wait, thank you, each one a single tap away.

Speak a Choice showing two large cards, a green Yes with a tick and a red No with a cross.

Speak a Choice

When energy runs low, this is enough. A green yes, a red no, spoken aloud the instant you choose.

Speak Clearly, a pronunciation practice screen reading Ready, with playback controls and a words per minute setting.

Speak Clearly

Practise sounds and words at your own pace, with a voice to follow and a record button to hear yourself back.

Speak your Point Lite on a phone, showing Daily Essentials categories such as Assistance Needed, Comfort, Family and Friends, and Food and Beverage.

Speak your Point Lite

The same picture talker, trimmed down for a smaller screen and a lighter touch.

Who it is for

For the person, and for everyone beside them.

Speak Easy is for people living with MND or ALS, PSP, the after-effects of a stroke, cerebral palsy, autism, or a voice lost for just a week or two. Some lean on it for years. Some only need it until their own voice returns.

It is just as much for the people alongside them. The partner learning the board. The carer who sets it up before a shift. The therapist matching the right tool to a hard Tuesday. It is made to pass from hand to hand without anyone reaching for a manual.

  • MND and ALS
  • PSP
  • Stroke recovery
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Autism
  • Temporary speech loss
  • Carers and families
  • Speech therapists

As things change

Speech rarely changes in a straight line.

Some weeks a full keyboard suits you fine. Other weeks a single yes or no is the whole conversation, and that has to be enough.

1

Start where you are

Choose the tool that fits today. A full talker, a picture board, or two large cards. No long setup to wade through first.

2

Lean on more support

Shift to bigger targets, fewer choices, or hands-free control whenever you need them. The tools are built to meet you there.

3

Keep your own voice

Your words, your settings and your recorded voice follow you across every tool, and they stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded, so changing how you talk never means starting over.

Communication is a right,
not a privilege.
