OpenVoice is a symbol-based communication board that turns taps into speech. Built for people with autism, ALS, aphasia, and other conditions that affect verbal communication.
Americans could benefit from augmentative and alternative communication tools
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) refers to any method that helps a person communicate when speech alone isn't enough. AAC ranges from simple picture boards to sophisticated speech-generating devices.
OpenVoice is a symbol-based speech-generating system. Users tap emoji-illustrated buttons organized into categories like Feelings, Needs, Actions, People, and Places. Each tap speaks the word aloud using built-in text-to-speech. A sentence builder lets users string words together for more complex thoughts.
Unlike static picture boards, OpenVoice is fully customizable. Caregivers and therapists can add, remove, and reorder buttons to match each individual's vocabulary and communication goals.
