About this app

CommBoards – AAC Communication App for Autism & Nonverbal Speech

Tap a picture. Hear the word. Tap a few more and CommBoards speaks the sentence. That is an AAC talker: picture communication on any Android phone or tablet.

Made for autism, speech delay, and nonverbal kids and adults. You do not need a clinic to start. Open the app and talk.

Starter boards are free (Feel, Eat, Drink, Play, People, Places). Try Premium free for 7 days on monthly or yearly.

HOW IT WORKS
Picture cards sit in a simple grid, PECS-style. Build a sentence, press play, and text-to-speech reads it aloud. Works offline at home, at school, or in speech therapy. No internet for core talking.

Example: I + Want + Mom. Press play. CommBoards says it.

FREE
Built-in communication boards. Picture cards. Offline text-to-speech. Phone and tablet.

PREMIUM
Your photos from camera, gallery, or the image bank. Record your voice or your child's on any card. Unlimited custom boards. Quick Phrases for one-tap everyday sentences. HD voices. A backup file you export and import on another Android device.

Premium follows the Google account you buy with. On a second Play device, Restore Purchases. If you want the same boards there, export a backup file and import it. Boards stay on the device until you do. They do not copy from phone to tablet on their own.

WHO IT HELPS
Nonverbal and minimally verbal children and adults. Autism. Speech delay. Apraxia. Aphasia. Cerebral palsy. Down syndrome. Stroke recovery. Parents, caregivers, speech-language pathologists, speech therapy, and special education classrooms.

For over 10 years families have used CommBoards as the simple Android AAC app they can finish setting up the same day. A speech generating talker you can hand to a child after download.

Try Premium free for 7 days on monthly or yearly. Starter boards stay free.

Give your child a voice.

I like the simplicity of this app. I purchased the full version to add pictures, remove items, and rearrange it however I want. The biggest issue I have is that after all that work I did customizing it on my phone. When I went to download the app on my son's tablet. There is absolutely no way to sync the data! You'll have to pay for the full version and customize it on each device. I'm so disappointed. My phone screen isn't big enough for him to see the words and pictures. I'm so upset.

I tried this app with my father who had a stroke and has speech aphasia. The pictures were clear and the voice spoke loudly and clearly. My father aeemed very interested in trying it out, but put it aside. He seemed to want more choices to select from. Perhaps the paid version has more. I would prefer the icon boxes to be larger. Overall it definitely was a cute app and I could see it coming in handy when we are having one of those frustrating moments trying to figure out what my Dad wants.

Thanks for sharing how you used it with your father. To make cells bigger, reduce the column count at Settings → Layout & Display → Number of Columns. The full version adds Quick Phrases and custom photos. Email shmoontz@gmail.com if you need a hand.

You don't give people a chance to trial your product, before you ask for ratings. Food choices are poor, appear's that you can not add anything or change it. Their is very little options, if it could be added to or change it. It would give me a better idea if you would show a video clip of full purchase your product. We currently use sono flex I am looking for something for my cell phone.

Thanks — fair point on the trial experience. The lite version does include a starter set of boards (Feel, Eat, Drink, Play, People, Places) you can use fully before deciding on the full version. We're also looking at making the lite→full upgrade path more obvious in-app. Sorry it didn't feel that way.
