Accent
Est. $4,000–$8,000
The Accent is a dedicated AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) device, a speech-generating tablet that lets someone communicate through symbols, words, and typing. It runs on Windows and supports several ways of selecting, including eye tracking and switch access, so it can be matched to how a person can physically use it. The glass is thicker and impact-resistant, the body resists splashes and dust, and the handle is stronger. It can also act as a keyboard and mouse for a connected computer, or work as a standalone computer. The communication software, such as NuVoice, is customized to the person, so plan on professional help to choose and set it up.

Novachat
Est. $1,500–$8,000
The NovaChat is a dedicated speech-generating device that runs on an Android platform. It gives someone who can't rely on speech a customizable way to talk, using software like WordPower to build messages for chatting, answering questions, or writing to others. It comes in a rugged wrap with easy-grip handles and a tempered-glass screen protector, so it's built to go with you through the day. A built-in speaker, visual cues that highlight selected items, and a feature called InputStick, which lets the device act as a wireless keyboard for a personal computer, round it out. Keyguards and similar touch-access supports can help with accurate selection.

LAMP Words for Life
$299.99
LAMP Words for Life is an AAC app, which means it gives someone a way to talk by tapping words and phrases on a screen that speaks them aloud. It uses a motor-planning approach, so each word stays in the same place on the screen and a person can learn to reach for it without searching. The vocabulary holds about 4,500 core and fringe words, and a Vocabulary Builder feature lets you teach just a few words at a time. It is offered in English, Spanish, Canadian French, and German, each with matching voices. It suits someone just starting to communicate who will need room to grow into full sentences. It runs on an Apple device, so check the app compatibility page before buying.

Unity AAC
Unity AAC is a speech-generating app that helps someone communicate by tapping symbols that speak words and phrases aloud. It uses Minspeak multi-meaning symbols, so each symbol on the home screen opens a group of related words sorted by part of speech. The button locations stay consistent, which helps a person learn and recall words through repeated motor patterns. It comes with thousands of core and fringe words already stored, plus spaces you can edit to add your own vocabulary, and it has built-in teaching tools like an in-app tutorial, Vocabulary Builder, and Word Finder. It runs on iPhone, iPad, or Mac, so check that your Apple device is compatible before you commit. A 30-day trial is offered through a PRC-Saltillo account.

Dialogue AAC
$99.99
Dialogue AAC is an app for iPad and iPhone that lets adults who can read and spell communicate through a keyboard layout, with word prediction and quick phrases to speed things up. It is built for literate people who have trouble using their natural voice. It also includes the Essence vocabulary system, offered in 60-location and 84-location layouts to suit different visual and motor abilities. This is an app, not a device, so you'll need a compatible iPad or iPhone, and a speech-language pathologist can help match the layout and settings to the person.
