Abbar - AAC Communication
AAC Communication Tool
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Abbar is an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) app built for people who cannot speak or who struggle with speech and communication. It uses picture cards with ready-made phrases, spoken aloud in a clear, natural voice with a single tap.
Abbar is suited for children and adults on the autism spectrum, speech delay, stuttering, post-stroke recovery, and any situation that calls for an alternative way to communicate.
Highlights:
• 8+ categories of ready-made cards: essentials, feelings and health, body parts, family, actions, responses, questions, and time and place
• A row of urgent cards spoken instantly with no need to build a sentence (help, bathroom, thirsty, tired...)
• Build a sentence from multiple words and hear it spoken as one
• Add any new word or card with a photo or icon the user picks
• Add family members by name and photo as ready-to-use cards
• Record the user's own voice on any card, for a real, personal voice alternative
• 17 high-quality human voices matched to age and gender (adult, elder, child) across every card in the app, plus the device's built-in voice for custom cards and newly typed words
• Full English support throughout the app, alongside formal Arabic
• A Gulf dialect option, during first-time setup or anytime from Settings
• Custom profiles for every user: a simplified board for young children, and a large-card board for elders
• Add a real photo to any card, not just an emoji icon
• One-tap full backup and restore of all data (cards, family members, settings)
• Caregiver coaching tips inside Settings, supporting AAC communication style at home
• Works fully offline after install, no external servers and no data collection
• All data (custom cards, family members, voice recordings) is stored on the user's own device only
Abbar is not a demo. It is a daily communication tool built to be simple, fast, and reliable in the moment a user needs to express themselves.
