Talk For Me — AAC Board

Resona Frame CO., LTD.

About this app

Important: Talk For Me is an assistive communication aid, not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat, and does not replace clinical care or emergency services. In a life-threatening situation, get help from people on site or call your local emergency number.

Built for people who lost their voice (stroke aphasia, ALS, post-ICU): no typing, large buttons, emoji cues, and a one-tap alert that only speaks aloud so nearby people can help — it does not dial.

Patient board languages: Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Malay. Non-Chinese content is AI-assisted, not clinically certified.

Phrases stay on your device. Free, nonprofit.

Who it's for: people who cannot speak after a stroke (aphasia), with ALS, or after ICU extubation — and the family and caregivers beside them, including caregivers who speak a different language. The same message can be spoken in the patient's language and then in the caregiver's.

How it works: 1) Pick the board language and the caregiver's language. 2) The patient taps a large card. 3) The phone speaks it aloud. You can add your own phrases.

Privacy: phrases and settings stay on your device; no account is needed. If you use auto-translate on your own phrases, Google ML Kit downloads a translation model once (internet needed) and then translates on the device; ML Kit may send low-volume diagnostic data to Google. The in-app tip jar is optional.

What’s new

• Safer phrase library: automatic backups before switching language, resetting or restoring; a wrong backup file can no longer wipe your phrases
• The emergency screen scrolls, and the Stop button stays pinned at the bottom at the largest text size
• Auto-translate now uses the board language as the source
• More reliable emergency alert
