For people with ALS, or who cannot speak, and their families
A speech app for ALS for the days the voice is too tired
A speech app for ALS is for the days the voice is too tired to be heard, and for the days after that. ExpressAgain lets the person say the everyday things and the hard things with one tap, in a voice cloned from a recording made while speaking was still easy.

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.
Can the person answer family messages?
Yes. A Love Bucket note or voice message can be answered back with tapped phrases or the patient's own cloned voice, from the patient's own login.
How does the person say where it hurts?
The Emergency page has pain and body location with one tap, and the mode's library carries pain from 0 to 10 and where it hurts.
