Aphasica

When words won’t come, Aphasica says them.

A tablet app that helps a person with aphasia make themselves understood: big talking buttons, an emergency sheet, reminders, and activities to keep spirits up.

Coming soon on Google PlayFree version and 30-day trial

For Android tablets and phones. In English (US, UK, Australia, Canada) and French.

Touch a button: it speaks, just like in the app.

My father, Michel, has lived with aphasia for more than 25 years. I have always looked for a way to help him. Aphasica grew out of that: helping him say what he can no longer say, and be understood.

How it works

No account to create, no subscription required. The family installs and sets up, the person touches and speaks.

  1. The family installs it

    Aphasica installs from Google Play on the tablet. At first launch, you choose your country and accept the health notice.

  2. The family sets it up

    In Settings: first name, family with photos, medications, emergency sheet, appointments. Everything stays on the tablet.

  3. The person touches, the tablet speaks

    One touch on “I’m in pain”, then on the stomach, then on “It burns”: the tablet says it out loud, as a full sentence.

Who it’s for

The person with aphasia

After a stroke, an illness or an accident, they understand but can’t get the words out. Aphasica gives them a voice for what matters, without reading or writing.

Family and caregivers

They set up the tablet, add photos and reminders, and can receive a sentence by message.

Care professionals

Nurses, aides, speech therapists: they understand the person’s pain, needs and story in seconds.
