What is Sunspeak?
Sunspeak is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app, a tool that helps people who cannot speak, or who need help being understood, communicate with the people around them.
You build sentences by tapping buttons. Each button has a word or symbol on it, and when you tap it, Sunspeak speaks it out loud. Boards can be customized for any user, from a few simple buttons all the way to advanced layouts with thousands of words across folders.
Sunspeak is designed to feel warm, calm, and uncomplicated, appropriate for children, teenagers and adults alike. It works offline, syncs between devices, and stays out of the way so the user can focus on communicating.
Installing the app
Sunspeak is available on iOS and Android.
Steps
- Open the App Store (iPhone / iPad) or Google Play (Android).
