Linggo makes communication accessible for people who have difficulty speaking.
Linggo is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) platform that comprises 2 applications, Linggo Learner and Linggo Coach. Designed with a behaviour analytic perspective and created in collaboration with Speech-Language Pathologists, Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Linggo incorporates evidence-based strategies to support the development of language, functional communication, speech and literacy skills (sight reading), while monitoring progress using data driven technology.
The Linggo Learner app is intended for individuals who have difficulty or are unable to speak.
The Linggo Coach app is intended for clinicians, care partners and parents who wish to monitor progress.
Intuitive Interface
Word finding is made easier when words appear based on personal context, relevance and grammatical order.
Linggo Library
With a robust library of over 4000 words with grammatical markers, users can create and add meaningful vocabulary to help the individual build their language skills. All images are licensed from TobiiDynavox.
Language Trees (Communicator)
Teach sentence structures through Language Trees. Whether you're just beginning with nouns or teaching subject-verb-object combinations, Linggo can be customized to grow with the Learner's language profile.
Free Form
Generative novel phrases and sentences in the moment and as needed. Use Linggo’s library or photos/images from your own device to spontaneously generate novel words, phrases and sentences.
Quick Chat
Functional communication is made easier with Quickchat. Phrases such as “I need the washroom.” “My way, please” and “Help me” can be expressed easily through a single tap.
Transition to Text
Linggo offers the Transition To Text feature which encourages the Learner to learn sight words rather than relying solely on pictures and symbols to communicate. When Transition To Text is enabled, the picture associated with the text fades or reduces in size over time, eventually disappearing to display the text (sight word) only.
Transition to Speak
Linggo offers the Transition to Speak feature which uses a time delay (1 to 10 seconds) to encourage the Learner to use their voice. When this feature is enabled, the word remains silent when selected - giving the Learner the opportunity to practice their speech.
Coaches and Progress Reports
The support and feedback of Coaches are critical and mandatory components for the success of AAC intervention - which is why we included Coaches as active users too. Coaches collect data on Learner’s communication, which is then graphed across progress reports to help make evidence informed decisions.
As an authorized BACB ACE provider, Linggo offers training/education to clinicians, parents and anyone interested in learning more.
** Learner accounts can be accessed through iPads/iPhones that allow for the latest iOS updates. Linggo Coach accounts can be accessed on any iOS mobile device.
I love this app. It’s design and user friendly interface makes it my go to AAC app. However the app runs into frequent bugs where the app freezes and it won’t let you edit anything without logging out and logging back in. This happens very often and it’s really annoying.
Finally! An SGD made FOR autistic users!

I have worked with a variety of low and high tech AAC platforms with my autistic clients over the past 10+ years. This is the first high tech platform that I feel truly caters to the specific needs of autistic learners. The symbol fading features and time delay are two functions I’ve never seen before and are absolute game changers for promoting literacy and providing opportunities to increase vocal speech production. The Coach app. streamlines data collection and guides data based decisions. Bravo Linggo! I’m literally telling EVERYONE about this app.
Awesome Individualized AAC platform

Linggo Learner app let’s me build communication with my learner at his pace while also allowing me to track all the progress as the coach. It’s easy to set up and use and provides my learners with confidence in getting their needs met! Well done!
