Tap - Talk with Pictures
Speak with picture cards
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A voice for a child who doesn't speak. Tap a picture, hear the word, build a sentence. 600 words in 27 languages, your own photos and voice, all on the device.
Tap helps children who don't speak — or speak only a little — say what they want.
Tap a picture and it speaks aloud. Tap a few and they build into a simple sentence: "I want juice."
Calm, warm, and made for little hands and sensitive senses. No noise, no clutter, no flashing — just a gentle, joyful way to be heard.
WHAT TAP DOES
• Around 600 picture words, grouped into 22 clear categories
• Tap to speak; tap a few to build a sentence and say it in one press
• 27 languages, spoken with the voices already on your device
• Record your own voice for any word — a familiar voice is easier for a child to recognize than a computer one
• Add your own cards from a photo; Tap can lift the object onto a clean white background
• Four card sizes that grow with your child — and a word keeps the same spot at every size, so it stays easy to find
• First–Then, for getting through a transition one step at a time
• Quick phrases your child can say in a single tap
• Gesture cue cards (stop, wait, quiet) alongside everyday words
FOR PARENTS AND THERAPISTS
Everything sits behind a PIN. Hide or reorder cards, swap any picture for your own photo, set how a word should be pronounced, and see which words are getting used in a private progress log you can export. Back the whole board up to a file and restore it on another device.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Nothing is collected — everything stays on your device.
SIMPLE, HONEST PRICING
Free to try for a week with everything unlocked. Then unlock Tap forever with one simple purchase — no subscription, ever.
Give your child a simple way to be heard — at home, at school, and everywhere in between. Every tap is a small step toward connection.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Small fixes that make a real difference day to day.
• The Speak button is never covered again. The small grown-up buttons — search, First–Then and settings — now sit in their own row above the sentence instead of on top of it.
• The sentence strip shows each word's picture, so it matches the cards your child tapped.
• The Recent tab is now translated in all 27 languages.
• When you make a card from a photo, if Tap can't find a clear subject to lift onto white, it now tells you instead of
quietly using the whole picture.
• Customizing the board is quicker — pick a category with the same chips your child already sees.
• VoiceOver now names the hide, picture, voice and reorder buttons in Parent Mode.
• A calmer, more consistent look across the grown-up screens.
