SayIt!

SayIt!

Communication software for people who need help being heard — and the people helping them.

Phrase boards, writing help, and spoken voices, designed so the person communicating stays in charge of what gets said.

Communication tools should stay close to the person using them. Every feature in SayIt! answers to that.

Who it's for

Two audiences, one app.

For communicators.

For people whose speech is unreliable, intermittent, or absent. SayIt! is a board you own, a composer you control, and a voice that speaks only when you say so.

For caregivers, teachers, and therapists.

A separate caregiver role with its own dashboard. Manage clients, prepare boards, set view-or-edit access — without ever speaking for the communicator.

Principles

Four rules we don't bend.

  1. 01

    The communicator decides what gets spoken.

    The app may suggest. The person sends. Nothing autoplays, nothing speaks without a tap.

  2. 02

    Caregivers prepare; they don't perform.

    Caregiver tools shape boards and routines. They don't put words in anyone's mouth.

  3. 03

    Plain text first, premium when chosen.

    Free voices, typed messages, and saved boards work without a subscription. More natural voices and writing help are opt-in.

  4. 04

    Public source, reserved brand.

    The code is open source. The SayIt! name and marks are not part of that license.

Offline

Honest about what works without a connection.

SayIt! installs to your phone or desktop. Some things keep working when the network drops. Others can't — and we'd rather say so than let you discover it mid-conversation.

Privacy and data

Where your data goes, named out loud.

Your boards and messages stay in your account. Sign-in and billing run through trusted services, so SayIt! never sees your card or password.

Writing help and premium voices only run when you ask for them, and only when a paid plan is set up. Picture symbols come from a licensed library.

The full privacy policy lives in the app.
