When speaking becomes hard, what you want to say still matters. Tap a symbol and Sayable speaks for you. Free to start. Works fully offline. No account. No ads.
Sayable is an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app made for adults who find speaking difficult — after a stroke, with ALS/MND, aphasia, dysarthria, or after throat surgery.
Tap a symbol, and the app says it out loud. No complicated setup. It works the day you open it.
MADE FOR
- Adults with aphasia after a stroke
- People living with ALS/MND or other progressive conditions
- Anyone who has temporarily lost their voice
- Their families, caregivers, and speech-language pathologists
TAP. SPEAK. BE HEARD.
- Communication boards: health, food, people, places, time and more (28 categories, 320+ words)
- Large buttons with clear picture symbols. Tap once and it speaks
- Combine words into sentences, or say just one word — both work
READY-MADE PHRASES FOR REAL SITUATIONS
- Boards for the doctor, eating out, shopping, getting around and care help: "It hurts here", "Please explain slowly", "The bill, please", "Please help me turn over" (67 phrases)
PREDICTS YOUR NEXT WORD
- Suggests what you are likely to say next, based on the word you just tapped
- Learns how you speak, so you need fewer taps over time
ADD YOUR OWN WORDS
- Turn family photos into buttons ("My grandson")
- One-tap phrases, including partner requests like "Please speak slowly."
MAKE THE WORDS YOUR OWN
- Hide the words you don't use. A hidden word keeps its place, so no other word ever moves (your muscle memory stays intact)
- Rename a word or change what it says, and put it back any time
FOR THE HARD MOMENTS
- Show mode: display your message in huge letters for noisy places
- About me card: show people a message like "I have aphasia. Please speak slowly", plus your name, medicines, allergies and an emergency contact
- Call for help: a loud voice and flashing screen to call someone from another room
- Keyboard with word prediction, spoken aloud — for those who can type
FREE TO START, ONE PURCHASE FOR EVERYTHING
- Free forever: Express and Needs & body boards, typing with speech, next-word prediction, call for help, About me card, show mode, and backup
- Preview every other board before you decide to buy
- A single one-time purchase unlocks every board (28 categories including the situation boards, 320+ words), photo word buttons, and unlimited My Phrases
- No subscription. Bought Sayable as a paid app? Everything stays unlocked for you at no charge
PRIVATE BY DESIGN

- Full backup, so you can move everything to a new device
FROM THE DEVELOPER
Sayable grows with your feedback. A missing word, a confusing button — send it from Settings. I read every message and ship improvements.

Make the words your own:

- Rename a word, or change what it says (per display language)
- Put things back one word, one board, or everything at once
- Edit from the button at the top of a board, or press and hold a word
