Speech Assistant AAC

Speech Assistant AAC is an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) app designed for people with speech impairments due to aphasia, motor neuron disease, autism, stroke, cerebral palsy, or other conditions affecting speech.

Communicate with ease by building custom phrases and organizing them into categories placed on accessible buttons. Each button can display or speak your message using text-to-speech, or you can type freely using the keyboard. Whether you need quick access to frequently used phrases or the flexibility to compose new messages on the fly, this app adapts to your communication style.

Customize every aspect to match your needs. Adjust button sizes, text dimensions, and the message display area to suit your preferences. Choose from multiple color schemes or design your own. Assign unique colors to individual buttons for visual organization. Select photos from your library or use symbols to make buttons more intuitive. The auto-complete feature helps you locate phrases faster, while the history function keeps your recently spoken messages just a tap away.

For group conversations or multiple communication contexts, use tabs to switch between separate conversations. The full-screen mode displays your message in large, readable text—perfect for noisy environments or when speaking to someone across the room. A convenient rotation button lets you show your message clearly to the person you're talking to.

Recording and playback give you personal voice options. Connect a Bluetooth keyboard to create custom shortcuts for key functions like Speak, Clear, Show, and Attention Sound. Share your messages directly via email, text, or social media. Safety features include an undo option to prevent accidental message loss and button disabling to avoid double-tap mistakes.

The basic version is free and works entirely offline—no internet connection required. Upgrade to the full version with a one-time payment to unlock unlimited categories, advanced backup and restore capabilities, access to 3,400 Mulberry Symbols, voice recording and import, user profiles for different languages or situations, and individual button color customization.

Speech Assistant AAC runs smoothly on smartphones and tablets in both portrait and landscape layouts. The app uses your device's installed text-to-speech voices, such as Speech Services by Google, which offers male and female voices in multiple languages.
