For people with aphasia and the families around them
A communication app for aphasia that starts with what the person already knows
A communication app for aphasia should lean on what aphasia often leaves intact: reading and recognizing. ExpressAgain shows the real things a person in this situation wants to say, so the patient picks and the app speaks, instead of asking for words that will not come.

Type, and spell with Letters
Type lets a family member type anything and have it spoken. Letters is an on-screen alphabet board: spell a word letter by letter, hear it, and Share sends it as a note to family and friends and to the care team.

How it works
Create a free account: your name, email, a password and who the app is for (yourself, someone you care for, a patient, or an organization).
The guided setup takes four short steps: who the app is for and the condition mode, text and button sizes, a voice and the first people, then a review.
Tap any phrase on Communicate to say it out loud; invite family with a personal link and give each clinician or professional a code from the Care Team page.
Questions people ask
Is it free to start?
Yes. Free is where everyone starts, and communicating is never behind a paywall: tap to speak, the phrase boards, the sentence builder, Letters, the Phrase Library, lessons, Games and Play, the emergency screen, the Emergency Plan Card and the built-in voice. Free also invites 2 family members to the Family and Friends Feed. The Pricing page shows the plans side by side.
What happens after I sign up?
Sign up asks for your name, email and a password, and who the app is for. Then the guided setup takes four short steps: who the app is for and the condition mode, text and button sizes, a voice and the first people, then a review. Entering the patient's name and date of birth pins the two phrases hospitals ask for constantly.
What if the exact phrase is missing?
Type it. Couldn't find it keeps a typed message that matched nothing, word for word, so the family can add it to the patient's own words, and the Letters board spells anything one letter at a time.
Does it work on bad hospital Wi-Fi?
The phrases and the search ship with the app, so phrase results speak with one tap even on bad hospital Wi-Fi. If a save cannot reach the server, a banner says the latest changes are on this device only, and Retry saving now sends them up.
