For people with aphasia and the families around them
Help communicating after a stroke, from the hospital bed to the kitchen table
Help communicating after a stroke starts with the two phrases hospitals ask for constantly, the patient's name and date of birth, pinned from the first setup. From there the Phrase Library, Learn and Practice Out Loud carry the recovery, and the whole family can be part of it.

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.
Which speech problems after a stroke does it cover?
Aphasia, apraxia of speech and dysarthria. The stroke page explains each in plain words, and inside the app Coming Home, the day plan and the therapists' assignments carry that work.
Can the speech therapist be part of it?
Yes. The family creates a single-use code for the speech therapist, who joins at the IDC Team sign-in and assigns exercises that appear on the patient's Practice page.
