Aacoris AAC
A free AAC app built for adults with aphasia. Communicate clearly while language is still recovering — with categories, custom phrases, and a voice that's yours.
Aphasia affects an estimated 2 million adults in the United States alone. It can follow a stroke, a brain injury, or progressive conditions, and it changes how a person produces, understands, reads, and writes language. Recovery is real but uneven — and during the long stretch of rehabilitation, the right communication tool makes the difference between participating and pulling away.
Aacoris is a free AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app for adults with aphasia. It's organized for adult life, supports multiple languages, works fully offline, and lets each user keep a consistent voice across hospital, clinic, and home. There is no subscription, no account, and no learning curve.
No two cases of aphasia look the same. AAC can be tuned to the specific bottleneck — production, comprehension, retrieval, or all three.
Comprehension is largely intact, but speaking is effortful and slow. AAC fills the gap so the person can be understood while words are being retrieved.
Speech may be fluent but unclear in meaning, and comprehension is reduced. Photo icons and short pre-set phrases anchor the conversation in concrete choices.
Both producing and understanding language are severely affected. Yes/no choices and emergency phrases are often the first wins with AAC.
Specific word retrieval is the bottleneck. Custom-saved phrases for medications, names, and routine items reduce the daily strain of forgetting.
This page is informational and not a substitute for a clinical diagnosis or therapy plan. Always coordinate AAC use with a speech-language pathologist where possible.
AAC isn't a last resort. For most adults with moderate to severe aphasia, a reliable communication aid is one of the single most useful tools in the recovery kit.
Tap a category, tap a phrase, and the device speaks. Every interaction stays moving even when language production stalls.
Pre-organized categories cut the search effort that often triggers withdrawal in adults with moderate to severe aphasia.
Hearing a target word spoken when the user taps it is repeated, low-pressure practice that complements clinic sessions.
Family members move from guessing to participating. Clear yes/no and short scripts keep relationships alive during recovery.
These six pieces are what make Aacoris a good fit specifically for adults — not a generic communication app retrofitted for therapy.
Add the words and routines that matter to this person — medications, names of grandchildren, favorite meals, mobility needs.
Medical, Daily Needs, Family, and Emergency are organized for adult life, not for a child's school day.
No Wi-Fi means no excuses. Voices, categories, and personal phrases stay on the device for the hospital, the car, and travel.
Choose a male or female voice and stick with it across environments. A consistent voice keeps the user feeling like themselves.
Bilingual adults can switch by context — clinical English with the medical team, the home language with family.
Shake-to-activate gives an aphasic adult a way to call for urgent help when no phrase will come.
Consistent use beats heavy use. These four anchor points keep AAC in practice without overwhelming the user.
Pre-set phrases for medications, breakfast preferences, mood check-ins, and personal care reduce the load on caregivers and the user.
Save target vocabulary the SLP is currently working on and review with Aacoris between sessions for low-pressure repetition.
A few short scripts (greetings, thank-yous, simple opinions) keep the user inside the conversation rather than on the edge of it.
Wind-down phrases for pain, sleep, comfort, and goodnight keep the user in control of the close of the day.
