ALSChat

AAC for ALS & Motor Disability

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

ALSChat is a free AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) letter board for people living with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), motor neuron disease (MND), locked-in syndrome, and other progressive motor disabilities. Type by tapping, or hands-free by blinking — ALSChat adapts as your mobility changes so you can always find your voice. KEY FEATURES • Manual Letter Board Tap letters, words, and phrases directly. Large, high-contrast buttons make every target easy to hit. • Semi-Automatic Blink Scanning The board highlights each spot in turn. Close your eyes for about half a second to select — no touch needed. Adjust the scan speed to match your pace. Blink detection runs entirely on your device; camera images are never uploaded. • Word Suggestions Suggested words appear as you type, so every message takes fewer selections. • Text-to-Speech Speak your message aloud instantly with your device's built-in voices. • Caregiver Chat Invite family and caregivers with a link. Send messages from the letter board and get notifications on their phones — even when the app is closed. • Quick Phrases Common phrases — greetings, requests, urgent needs — are ready as one-tap chips in every language. • Message History Everything you speak is saved on your device. Reopen any past message with a tap, and words you've used before are suggested first. • 12 Languages Korean, English, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Arabic, German, Vietnamese, Russian, Chinese, and Hindi. WHO IS ALSCHAT FOR? • People living with ALS or motor neuron disease (MND) • Individuals with locked-in syndrome or spinal cord injury • People with Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, or stroke-related aphasia • Caregivers, family members, and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) WHY ALSCHAT? Dedicated AAC devices can cost thousands of dollars. ALSChat is free, runs on the iPhone or iPad you already have, and needs no extra hardware — just the front camera for blink scanning. ABOUT ALSCHAT ALSChat is developed by NeoChat Co., Ltd, a team dedicated to improving quality of life through accessible communication technology. We build based on real feedback from patients, caregivers, and clinicians. Download ALSChat free today.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

- The Resources page now cites its medical sources (NIH, NHS, ASHA, NICE) with links, and its description of the input modes matches the current app (manual and blink-based semi-automatic). - New start button on the first screen that opens the app in your screen language. - Improved French, German, Portuguese and Vietnamese wording, and Brazilian Portuguese voice. - English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Russian text now uses normal capitalization: only the first letter of each sentence (and "I" in English) is capitalized. - Added punctuation keys (. , ! ?) to the English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German letter boards. - Personal word prediction: words you use often (including names and medicines) are suggested first, and the word you usually say next appears after a space. Learning stays on your device. - Quick phrases now add a space after themselves, so the next letter starts a new word. - The menu button is now labeled "Settings" instead of an icon.
