About epSpeak
epSpeak — Give Them a Voice epSpeak is a picture-based communication app (AAC) that helps children and adults who are nonverbal or have limited speech say what they mean — one tap at a time. Tap a picture, hear the word. It's that simple to start, and it grows with the user from single words all the way to full sentences. WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE epSpeak - Big, friendly buttons — designed for small hands and first-time users. - Meet Echo, a warm animated character who speaks each word with you, so communication feels personal, not clinical. - Two ways to talk: a simple Sound Board for tapping single words, and a full AAC word board for building sentences from core vocabulary. - A research-informed, color-coded word board (Modified Fitzgerald layout) keeps core words always within reach. - Works in your language — available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, and Arabic. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE TEAM epSpeak connects the people who support a communicator: - For caregivers: Organize categories, add your own photos and words, and personalize the experience from your phone or the web portal. Adjust voice speed, button size, and what's shown — and changes appear on the user's device within seconds. - For practitioners (SLPs, teachers, therapists): Work across multiple clients, set communication goals, track progress, and leave notes — all in one place. PERSONAL AND PRIVATE - Add your own photos so the words match the user's real world — their cup, their dog, their favorite snack. - Hide or show individual items per user, so what's on screen fits the moment. - Your data is encrypted on the device, and end users never see notifications or pop-ups that could overwhelm them. DESIGNED TO REDUCE FRUSTRATION, BUILD CONNECTION Every feature is shaped around real communication: clear audio, an optional auto-return so the screen steps back when a word is done, and a calm, uncluttered interface that keeps the focus on the message — not the menus. Whether you're a parent starting your child's communication journey, a teacher supporting building skills session by session, epSpeak gives every voice a way to be heard. Start the conversation today.
What’s new
Version 1.9.1 · Updated August 20, 2026
Signing in without a password Children can now sign in by scanning a code from their caregiver's device — no email, no password, nothing to type. If the camera isn't available, the code can still be entered by hand. We also fixed a sign-in that could spin forever instead of telling you what went wrong. Boards built while trying the app are no longer lost Categories you made before signing in now carry over to your new account, instead of being wiped. Tiles can speak a whole phrase A tile that reads "Ball" can now say "I want the ball." It's off by default — a caregiver turns it on for one user, when that user is ready to build phrases. What's on screen never changes; only the audio does. A Notes tab a young person can read Caregivers can now give an older child a read-only view of the notes written about their goals. It shows only notes shared with everyone, and only notes written from the day the setting is switched on. We now charge for AI, and only for AI Building vocabulary from your own photos and from Mulberry symbols is unlimited and free. The limit on how many people can be in a household is gone. AI-generated pictures are still metered — three categories a month on the free plan, and every extra picture inside a category costs nothing. A core board that stays put Core word positions are now locked and tested. A learner reaches for "want" by muscle memory, not by reading it, so those squares shouldn't move — and now they can't. For practitioners and school districts Organization accounts with roster sync, a caseload dashboard, IEP goal progress measured against each goal's own criterion, CSV export, and notes with subjects and replies.
