Two ways to communicate: voice recognition instantly converts speech to text, and the drawing board lets you write & sketch by hand. Whether you're connecting with someone deaf or hard of hearing, supporting a mute patient, or navigating a language barrier — Communication Board has you covered.
[VOICE RECOGNITION - REAL-TIME TRANSCRIPTION]
Speak into your microphone and your words appear instantly as text on screen. Clear, readable, and easy to follow — even for those with severe hearing loss. Supports 63 languages and regions worldwide.
[DRAWING & HANDWRITING BOARD]
Not a fast typist? Draw it instead. The intuitive drawing board lets you write by hand, customize pen thickness and color, zoom in with a pinch, and auto-save every session. Great for elderly users or anyone who finds typing difficult.
[TEXT TO SPEECH]
Can't speak? Let your phone do the talking. Type what you want to say and Communication Board reads it aloud — ideal for patients recovering from surgery, those with throat conditions, or anyone temporarily unable to vocalize.
[MIRROR TEXT DISPLAY]
Turn the screen toward the person in front of you and text automatically flips for easy reading. Perfect for bedside conversations, through glass partitions, or across a counter.
[HISTORY & SEARCH]
All voice-recognized text is automatically saved. Tag and filter conversations, search by keyword, and pull up past sessions in seconds — useful as a medical or care log.
