Professional guidance helps The app installs easily, but getting real benefit from it takes choosing a vocabulary, customizing pages and buttons, and matching an access method to the person. A family can try it alone, but results are much better with help from an SLP or AAC specialist, so professional guidance is recommended rather than required.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 7, 2026

TouchChat is a speech-generating app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that lets someone communicate by selecting words and symbols that the device speaks aloud. You can customize the vocabulary, pages, buttons, and voices, and the app offers word-based vocabularies like WordPower in English, Spanish, Canadian French, and Mandarin. It supports touch, scanning, and head tracking, so it can fit different ways of accessing a device. This is a full app, but you'll need a compatible Apple device, and getting the vocabulary and access method right is easier with a speech-language pathologist's help.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Install the app on a compatible Apple device and open it to see the starting vocabulary.
  • With a guide
    1. Choose a vocabulary (such as WordPower), then adjust the voice, button layout, and access method (touch, scanning, or head tracking) to fit the user.
    2. Turn on automatic backups or set up file sharing so your customized vocabulary isn't lost. Allow an hour or more to explore and personalize it.
  • With professional help
    A speech-language pathologist (SLP) or AAC specialist can help pick the right vocabulary, symbol set, and access method, and can plan training for the user and family. Allow one or more sessions. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
