About My Words - AAC Communication
My Words is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app designed for non-verbal individuals, including those with autism, apraxia, cerebral palsy, or any condition that makes spoken communication difficult. It turns an iPhone or iPad into a powerful voice output communication aid. **How It Works** Tap any picture button and the app speaks the word or phrase out loud using natural-sounding AI voices. Large, colorful buttons are easy to see and tap — even for users with fine motor challenges. **Natural AI Voices** My Words uses advanced AI text-to-speech so communication sounds natural and expressive, not robotic. Choose from multiple voices across two AI providers, or use the built-in iOS voice for offline use: • Groq Orpheus voices: Autumn, Diana, Hannah, Austin, Daniel, Troy • OpenAI voices: Alloy, Echo, Fable, Onyx, Nova, Shimmer • System voice: works completely offline **Fully Customizable** Every button can be personalized to match the user's daily needs: • Add new buttons with any photo from your camera roll • Edit the label, spoken phrase, and background color of any button • Replace the default pictures with photos of real objects from your home • Delete buttons that aren't needed • Rearrange buttons to put the most-used ones first **Designed for Accessibility** • Extra-large buttons fill the screen for easy tapping • High-contrast colored borders make each button distinct • Visual feedback when a button is speaking • Works on both iPhone and iPad • Supports portrait and landscape orientations **Privacy First** My Words does not collect, store, or share any personal data. Photos you add stay on your device. Voice requests are processed securely and not stored by the AI providers. My Words is built with love for families, caregivers, teachers, and therapists who support non-verbal individuals every day.
