AbilityMic: AAC Speech App
Communication Board & Voice
$59.99 · In‑App Purchases
Turn what you mean into a natural spoken sentence — in as few as three taps.
More than a talking board, AbilityMic brings the whole AAC journey into one accessible system: ready-to-use vocabulary, context-aware sentence building, offline speech, HomeKit control, SOS and care-team collaboration. It follows the person across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro — in 16 languages.
WHY ABILITYMIC STANDS APART
Ready on day one. Fast for everyday needs. Deep enough for full sentences and grammar. Private by default. Open to OBF/OBZ boards. And built to support more independence beyond speech — without making families stitch together separate tools.
FROM TAPS TO NATURAL SENTENCES
Tap "want" + "cocoa" and hear "I would like some cocoa, please." Word prediction learns the words you actually use. Grammar tiles add past, future, question, negation or plural in one tap. On iPhone 15 Pro and later, Apple Intelligence builds the sentence entirely on device — nothing leaves your phone.
BUILT-IN BOARDS, READY ON DAY ONE
Master Grid is a full-communication vocabulary — pronouns, core verbs, feelings, people, places, time, food — with 5,400+ symbols (Mulberry, Tawasol, Twemoji) and Fitzgerald Key colours. Import any OBF/OBZ board with no lock-in, or photograph a paper board and AbilityMic turns it into a digital one.
MORE THAN SPEAKING
• Smart home: switch off the lamp or a plug from the same grid, through HomeKit.
• SOS: one tap sends an alert with your location to family — also from Apple Watch.
• Quick phrases on your wrist, boards readable across the room on Apple TV, spatial boards with look-and-pinch on Vision Pro.
FOR FAMILIES, THERAPISTS AND SCHOOLS
• Drag-and-drop board editor; print-ready PDF with lamination cut lines for the classroom.
• Sentence history, favourites and descriptive usage insights show which words are really being used.
• Conversation recording with consent; a therapist PIN protects settings.
• Web panel (Pro): therapists and family update boards from any browser and sync them — without touching the user's device.
WORKS OFFLINE, RESPECTS PRIVACY
Boards, symbols, Apple voices and history live on your device. No ads, no tracking. Every online feature is opt-in. Sensitive settings stay in the Keychain, and protected data exports can be encrypted.

AbilityMic supports everyday communication for people with autism, aphasia, ALS/MND, cerebral palsy or after a stroke — and the families, caregivers and speech-language pathologists who support them. It is not a medical device and does not replace assessment or therapy by a qualified professional.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Board editor rebuilt: tiles look exactly as they do on the board, rows and columns change with +/- buttons, shrinking the grid sets tiles aside instead of deleting them, and leaving with unsaved changes asks first. "Edit board" opens the board you are looking at, including Master Grid packs, which are edited as your own copy with working folders.
Also new: pictures next to the words in the sentence bar, text above symbols, a manual button size, speech volume, protection against accidental double taps, photo-style symbols for photographic access profiles, a clear mark when a picture can't load, and a shortcut to voice settings when a voice is missing. Photographers are now credited under every Unsplash photo.
