CTS, Communicate Through Spelling, turns an iPad into a calm, beautiful voice for nonspeaking children and adults. Built by two fathers of autistic children, it gives every person a way to be heard, one letter at a time, whether they are 4 or 44. SPELLING BOARDS THAT GROW Start with four big letters, move to nine, then the full alphabet and a QWERTY keyboard. Every letter speaks the moment it is tapped, and each typed word is read out loud. TALK, IN PICTURES A picture board builds real sentences. Tap "I want," and it offers food, drink, and comfort. Tap "I feel," and it offers feelings and where it hurts. Each choice suggests the next natural words, and the whole sentence is spoken with one tap. Parents can add their own buttons with photos. MORE THAN 40 REAL VOICES Warm women, calm men, real kids, and playful characters. Every speller picks the voice that feels like theirs, for every letter, word, and sentence, and the app cheers for them by name. 32 GAMES AND QUIZZES Motor coordination, spelling, thinking, and knowledge, where every right answer is spelled out loud. New content is added all the time. CALM MUSIC AND BINAURAL BEATS Three gentle, evolving soundscapes and optional binaural beats, tuned for regulation and focus. MADE FOR FAMILIES Settings, links, and purchases sit behind a parental gate, so a child who taps anything lands on a learning game, never a settings page. History shows sessions, accuracy, and PDF export. Free for 30 days, the whole app, every voice, every game. CTS is part of Autism Is Biomedical, a nonprofit 501(c)(3).

Mouth Moves, a new game. A big friendly face says a word while its lips, teeth, and tongue form each sound, in your child's chosen voice. Watch it, slow it down, step through it sound by sound, or copy it in the mirror. Piano Stars now has 27 songs, every one playable on the piano, the xylophone, and the harp. The QWERTY board is now available in Question Time, Wormhole Words, Open Mic, and Target Practice. Drag the Letter can ask for the letters in order. Sentence Train accepts every sensible sentence. Speech is quicker. There is no pause after a line ends, typing cancels a sentence that is still loading, and the voice you chose is always the voice you hear. Drumline drums keep playing every time. Every quiz question was checked one by one. Letter colors stay readable on dark keys. The Talk board saves more safely. VoiceOver now names every button and target in every game.
