Ryan's Voice is an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app for nonverbal and minimally-speaking teenagers and adults. It's built for capable minds who deserve an intelligent, dignified way to speak — whether from aphasia after a stroke, apraxia of speech, autism, motor neurone disease (ALS/MND), cerebral palsy, brain injury, or any other reason. Not a simplified picture board.
THE CORE APP IS FREE
Essential communication should never sit behind a paywall. The free app is complete: a library of 1,000+ real-life phrases, natural text-to-speech, one-tap Quick SOS, favourites, your own custom phrases, and tap-to-listen reply choices — all working entirely offline.
WHO IT'S FOR
Used by nonspeaking and minimally-speaking people with apraxia, aphasia, dysarthria, autism, ALS / motor neurone disease, cerebral palsy, and communication changes after a stroke, brain injury or surgery.
SWIPE-FIRST, BUILT FOR APRAXIA
Apraxia is a motor-planning difficulty, not a problem of intelligence. Instead of hunting for tiny icons on a grid, Ryan's Voice uses large, swipeable phrase cards with generous 60pt+ tap targets and haptic feedback. Swipe to browse, tap once to speak.
PHRASES THAT RESPECT THE PERSON
Phrases are organised by real situations — Let's Talk, Daily phrases, Health and more — in college-level, emotionally nuanced language, not childish words. Yes / No / Maybe / Wait are always one tap away.
QUICK SOS
Urgent communication — sensory needs, immediate needs, self-advocacy — is always one tap from the home screen.
SMART VOICE (optional upgrade)
Smart Voice adds on-device intelligence that helps you keep pace with live conversation:
• Reply mode — suggests relevant replies based on what's being said, and follows real conversations: pauses mid-sentence, follow-up questions and clarifications
• Private Listen — automatically follows the conversation to surface the right phrases
• Snap & Speak — photograph a menu, then order in your own words with one tap. Ask about prices and get answers straight from the menu
• Say More — expands a phrase into a fuller sentence
• Personalised ranking that learns your most-used phrases
All of it runs 100% on your device. No conversation, audio, photo or phrase ever leaves your iPhone or iPad.
ORDER FOR YOURSELF AT ANY CAFÉ
Snap & Speak turns any printed menu into your own reply choices. Photograph the menu; when someone asks "What would you like?", tap "I'd like the pancakes, please" — in your voice, from the real menu, in seconds.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Ryan's Voice collects no personal data. All intelligence, speech and learning happen on-device. Photos of documents are processed on your device and never stored or uploaded. Nothing is tracked. It works without internet.
BUILT FOR ACCESSIBILITY
• VoiceOver supported
• Switch Control compatible
• Dynamic Type
• Dark Mode
• Designed for Assistive Access (iOS 26+)
• Works entirely offline
BUILT WITH DIGNITY
A clean, modern, adult design. No cartoons. No childish imagery. Because being nonverbal does not mean being less intelligent. Ryan's Voice was built by a parent, informed by years of occupational therapy and lived experience with apraxia.
— PURCHASE OPTIONS —

Ratings & Reviews
The conversation update.
• NEW — Snap & Speak (Smart Voice): photograph a menu, then order in your own words with one tap. Ask prices and get answers straight from the menu.
• Conversation following, rebuilt: pauses mid-sentence, follow-up questions, repeated questions and quick "Okay" replies no longer derail your reply choices.
• Clarifying questions now follow through — when you ask "Do you mean picking me up?", your partner's answer takes you to the right reply page.
• Your device no longer reacts to its own voice while it speaks for you.
• Faster, steadier suggestions and dozens of stability fixes.
