How it works

Tap a picture, hear the word

326 everyday words, each with a clear picture and a natural voice. The core words stay in the same place, so hands learn where they are.

Build sentences that get faster

Kalaam suggests the next word and learns the sentences someone says most, on the device itself. “I want water” becomes one tap.

Speak the family’s language

English, Urdu and Arabic, with right-to-left layouts and recorded voices for every picture word. Try the language switch at the top of this page.

Make it theirs

Routines for the day, typed speech, dark mode and high contrast, screen reader support, and Kalaam Full Unlock for your own photos and voice.

Made for people who have a lot to say

Learning to talk

Children and adults who are not speaking yet, or not reliably, including autistic people and people with apraxia.

Finding words again

Adults after a stroke or with aphasia, who need a quick way to say what they mean.

Families

Parents and carers who want home words, family names and the home language, not just English.

Therapists and teachers

A board that stays the same between therapy, class and home.

Questions

Does it work without internet?

Can I add our own words and photos?

Yes, with Kalaam Full Unlock. Record your own voice for any word, add your own photos as symbols and make your own categories. They stay on your device.

Which phones does it run on?

iPhone, iPad, iPhone Duo, and Android phones and tablets. Kalaam is coming soon.
