About Loquena: Speak, Regulate, Grow
Loquena helps you say what you mean, practice how you say it, and settle when you need to. Build a sentence from picture tiles. Press speak. Loquena reads it aloud. Split any word into syllables, hear each one, then record yourself and play it back. Part AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) tool, part speech-practice coach, part calm-down space — as useful for someone working on clarity as for someone who doesn't speak. COMMUNICATE • Build sentences from picture tiles • Search a categorized vocabulary • Add words with your own photos • Reorder tiles to match how you talk • Save voice settings per profile TEXT TO SPEECH • Tap a tile to hear the word • Adjust rate and pitch SYLLABLES Type a word or phrase and watch it split. Tap a syllable to hear it, play the whole phrase, or record yourself and play it back. EMOTION CARDS Match expressions with the front camera. Decks: Mammals, Dinosaurs, Forest, Ocean, Loop mode. BREATHE Box Breathing and Extended Exhale, with a bubble that expands and contracts. Soundscapes, and Sleep mode up to 60 minutes. TIC-TAC-TOE Turn-taking against the computer, with scores. PRIVACY Offline-first: boards, profiles, and progress work without a connection. Camera images are never uploaded. FREE AND PRO Core communication is free. Pro adds 6 profiles instead of 2, 50 custom words instead of 5, and every emotion deck with no daily limit. Download Loquena and start the conversation.
