Tap To Say
Tap a tile. It says the word.
Free · Designed for iPad
TapToSay is a fast, low-distraction communication app. Tap a tile, and it says the word — that is the whole interaction.
Built for nonverbal and minimally verbal children, and for anyone who is understood more easily by tapping than by talking. One tap gives instant speech: no menus, no setup, no learning curve.
WORDS AND PICTURES
Every tile pairs its word with a picture — an AAC symbol, an emoji, or your own photo — so a child sees the meaning, not just the letters. Twelve everyday categories work out of the box: People, Food, I Feel, I Want, I Need, Play, Activities, ABC, Colors, Shapes, Numbers, and My Day.
BIG, CLEAR TILES
Four columns of large, colorful tiles with bold labels — easy to hit, easy to read, sized for small hands and busy classrooms.
WORKS OFFLINE
Speech happens on the device. No internet connection is needed to communicate — it keeps working on the bus, at home, anywhere.
MADE TO STAY PUT
TapToSay can run locked to its own screen so a tablet stays on TapToSay instead of drifting into other apps.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Personal data and photos stay on the device; nothing about a user is collected or sold. Open source (MIT).
TapToSay is a simple tap-to-speak AAC app — built so that being understood takes one touch, not a lesson.
