AbilityMic
The iPhone in your pocket can be a full AAC device.
Dedicated speech devices cost thousands. AbilityMic turns the iPhone or iPad you already own into a complete communication system — with symbols, natural speech, AI phrasing, and the accessibility features Apple builds in.
Made for iOS, not ported to it
- Native app with VoiceOver, Switch Control, Assistive Access, Reduce Motion, and Dynamic Type support.
- Apple Intelligence sentence support on iPhone 15 Pro and later — private, on-device.
- One Universal Purchase: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch (quick phrases + SOS), and Apple Vision Pro.
- HomeKit smart home control straight from communication tiles.
- Works offline; syncs across your devices when you choose to.
iPhone or iPad — which one?
iPad gives larger grids and bigger targets — usually best as the main device at home, in therapy, and at school. iPhone is the always-with-you backup and the fastest way to speak in shops, taxis, and waiting rooms. AbilityMic keeps boards consistent across both, so nothing has to be rebuilt.
Common questions.
What iOS version is required?
AbilityMic targets recent iOS/iPadOS versions — check the App Store listing for the current minimum. Older devices can use the browser version with a paid account.
Is it really one purchase for all devices?
Yes — Universal Purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Vision Pro. The optional subscription only adds cloud AI, premium voices, and sync.
Can it replace a dedicated AAC device?
For many users, yes — at a fraction of the cost. For complex access needs (e.g., dedicated eye-gaze hardware), an SLP or AT specialist assessment is the right way to decide.
Try AbilityMic
Core communication works offline. AI, smart home control, and the AAC professional web panel are there when you need them. Not a medical device; it does not replace assessment or therapy by a qualified professional.
