ALSChat

Hands-free AAC for ALS & MND. Eye tracking, switch access & scanning — communicate independently even without hand movement. 12 languages. Free.

ALSChat is a hands-free AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app built for people living with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), motor neuron disease (MND), locked-in syndrome, and other progressive motor disabilities. With eye tracking, switch access scanning, and manual input — ALSChat adapts to every stage of mobility so you can always find your voice.

Trusted by ALS patients, caregivers, and speech-language pathologists, ALSChat makes independent communication possible — even when speech and hand movement are no longer available.

KEY FEATURES

• Eye Tracking & Gaze Control Operate the letter board entirely with your eyes. ALSChat supports iOS eye tracking for fully hands-free, touchless text composition. Ideal for users with locked-in syndrome, advanced ALS, or any condition that prevents physical touch.

• Manual Letter Board Select individual letters, words, and phrases by tapping. Large, high-contrast buttons designed for easy target acquisition — ideal for users who retain fine motor control.

• Semi-Automatic Scanning Rows and columns are highlighted in sequence. Confirm selections with a single tap or switch press — minimizing physical effort for every message.

• Automatic Scanning (Switch Access) Connect a Bluetooth switch device for fully hands-free communication. ALSChat is compatible with standard assistive switch hardware and iOS Switch Control — a powerful, affordable alternative to dedicated AAC devices.

• Text-to-Speech (TTS) Output Convert composed messages into natural-sounding speech instantly. Adjust voice type and speaking rate to match your preference.

• Caregiver Remote Monitoring Family members and caregivers receive notifications and can remotely monitor communication activity — staying connected no matter the distance.

• Multi-Language Support Communicate in 12 languages. ALSChat serves patients and families around the world in their native language.

• Saved Phrases & Quick Access Pre-save frequently used messages — greetings, requests, emergency phrases — for fast single-tap retrieval.

• Customizable Interface Adjust scanning speed, font size, color contrast, button layout, and more. ALSChat adapts to your specific needs at every stage of your condition.

• Accessibility First Design Large touch targets, high-contrast colors, and full VoiceOver compatibility for iOS.

WHO IS ALSCHAT FOR?

ALSChat is designed for anyone who has lost or is losing the ability to speak or control their hands due to a progressive neurological condition:

• People living with ALS or motor neuron disease (MND) • Individuals with locked-in syndrome or spinal cord injury • People with Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, or stroke-related aphasia • Anyone who relies on eye gaze, switch access, or other assistive input • Caregivers, family members, and speech-language pathologists (SLPs)

WHY ALSCHAT?

Traditional dedicated AAC devices can cost thousands of dollars. ALSChat is free, runs on your existing iPhone, and integrates with iOS accessibility features including Eye Tracking and Switch Control — no extra hardware required to get started.

Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with ALS for years, ALSChat meets you where you are and adapts as your needs change.
