Tom Taps – AAC Board
Build Sentences & Speak
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Made by a dad for his non-verbal son. A full AAC board, free to start — Pro is $29.99 once, no subscriptions ever. Private by design, works on day one.
Tom Taps is a picture-based AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app that helps children and non-speaking individuals express themselves — built with speech-language pathologists and by a father for his autistic son.
Unlike AAC apps that cost $150–250 or lock you into a subscription, Tom Taps is free to start and Tom Taps Pro is a one-time $29.99. No subscriptions, ever.
WHY FAMILIES AND SLPs CHOOSE TOM TAPS:
• Fixed grid positions — words stay in the same place, so motor patterns build naturally (never rearranged by word prediction).
• Private on-device AI Coach — weekly insights from your child's communication, with zero data leaving the device (Pro).
• Free to start — full core vocabulary, text-to-speech, custom cards, and unlimited boards at no cost.
• Open, portable vocabulary — built on the Fitzgerald Key colour system and the open OBF/OBZ format, so your boards are never locked to one vendor.
• Zero setup — works on day one, no SLP configuration required.
FEATURES:
Core Word Grid — the most common words, always visible, colour-coded by the Fitzgerald Key.
Fringe Vocabulary — hundreds of picture cards across People, Actions, Feelings, Food, Places, and more.
Multiple Boards — separate boards for home, school, and therapy.
Custom Cards — add your own pictures and words.
Modelling Mode — model language with Aided Language Stimulation (ALgS) without composing a sentence.
Sentence Composer — tap cards to build sentences and play them back with clear text-to-speech.
Vocabulary Packs — optional themed packs (Medical, School, Feelings, Food, Play, Community).
Lovingly built for Tom — a non-speaking child — and shared with every family walking the same path.
