Features & Capabilities

AAC Communicator is a text to speech application which verbalizes what a user has typed or selected from a list of pre-programmed phrases. AAC Communicator supports over 20 languages such as English (including Australian, UK, Irish, US & South African accents), Spanish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Hebrew, Polish, Russian, Chinese & other languages.

For most languages, the user is provided with a choice of different voices (male vs. female, etc.) In addition, the rate & pitch of each voice can be adjusted allowing the user to further personalize their voice.

AAC Communicator contains a growing list of basic pre-programmed phrases such “How are you?” which speed up communication. In addition, recent phrases are easily accessible should a user need to repeat something they have said. Additional phrases can also be saved to Favorites by the user for easy access.

In case a user would like to verbalize text from another application such as email, they can simply paste it into AAC Communicator and press Speak.

Note additional voices on your device may need to be enabled in Settings. If so, you can do so in Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Speech -> Voices.

Data connection is not necessary for AAC Bestie to function, so a user never gets stuck without their voice.

We hope you love AAC Communicator. If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out – team@aacbestie.com.

I personally love this app. I’m an Autistic adult, and sometimes I do go non-verbal, mainly after a meltdown. This app helps me communicate my wants and needs. I don’t mind paying the $14.99 monthly premium fee. It’s a lot better than what some of these other apps are charging. $14.99 is a lot better than like $100-$200 or more!

I tried to find an app like this for ages, but they all wanted money to do anything more than “hi” “thanks” “I’m tired” level of stuff. So few let you just TYPE- I’m autistic and go nonverbal once in a while, I need something like this to communicate effectively outside of handwritten notes- so THANM YOU
