The problem of speech impairment may exist in cases such as aphasia, MND/ALS, after a stroke, vocal cord disorder or other deformations leading to voice loss. It is also suitable for individuals affected by autism, cerebral palsy and various other mental and physical disorders. The app is an AAC tool which can be utilized during rehabilitation and conventional speech therapies. For individuals who are unable to read and cannot communicate, the app works as a useful tool as it banks on pictures (for visuals) and audio instead of text.
