Your First Week with SpeakPad

New to AAC? Here's what to expect from set-up to your child's first tapped-out sentence, and the one habit that matters more than any setting.

A tour of the tools behind the parental gate: the board editor, adding words and boards, and what lives under Settings and More.

Turn a real photo of a bedroom, playground, or kitchen into a tappable communication board, and learn when a scene works better than a grid.

How SpeakPad backs up automatically, how to move everything to a new iPhone or iPad, and how to keep two devices in sync.

Set up switch access for a child who can't reliably tap the screen: scan patterns, scan modes, and pairing a physical switch.

Pick a voice your child likes, download better Apple voices for free, and fix tricky pronunciations.

Show two languages on every button and switch voices, in any combination of the 9 supported languages.

See which words a child uses, then export the data or a formatted PDF report for therapy and IEP meetings.

Separate boards, voices, and data for each child on one device, with quick switching for therapists.

The Type button, keyboard boards, and prediction that learns from your child's own words.
