Aacoris AAC
A free communication app for stroke survivors with aphasia. Built for the long road of recovery — from the hospital bed to the dinner table.
Roughly one in three stroke survivors develops aphasia — a sudden loss of the ability to speak, understand, read, or write the words they used yesterday. Recovery is real, but it is rarely fast. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) gives survivors a voice during the months and years when language is still coming back.
Aacoris is a free AAC app designed for that gap. Tap a phrase, and the device speaks for you. Add your own words, switch languages, personalize the voice, and keep working — in the hospital, in rehabilitation, and at home. No subscription, no account, and no internet required.
Communication is the bottleneck in early recovery. AAC removes it so the rest of rehabilitation can move forward.
Stroke survivors can tap a phrase to ask for water, pain relief, the bathroom, or a family member — without waiting for words to come back.
Pre-organized categories like Medical, Daily Needs, Family, and Emergency cut the searching that fuels post-stroke anxiety and shut-down.
Hearing the same phrase spoken back, repeatedly, supports word retrieval and motor planning alongside formal speech therapy.
Spouses, adult children, and nursing staff stop guessing. Yes/no answers and short prompts keep both sides in the conversation.
These are the pieces of an AAC app that make the difference between a tool that gets used every day and one that sits on the home screen.
Add patient-specific language: medication names, the names of grandchildren, favorite foods, or the words that come up most in therapy.
Medical, Daily Needs, Family, and Emergency tabs are ready out of the box, so a new user can communicate within minutes of opening the app.
Hospital Wi-Fi is unreliable. Aacoris works fully offline — every phrase, voice, and category is stored on the device itself.
Choose male or female voices in English, French, or German. A familiar-sounding voice supports identity and dignity during recovery.
Bilingual stroke survivors can switch languages depending on context — for example, English with the medical team and the home language with family.
Shake-to-activate alerts give a survivor a way to call for urgent help before they can find the right phrase.
Recovery is unique to every survivor. This is a starting structure you can adapt with the patient's speech-language pathologist.
Download Aacoris, open the home screen, and walk through the four built-in categories together. Have the patient tap a few phrases so the voice is no longer a surprise.
Focus on the eight or so phrases the patient uses most: water, bathroom, pain, hungry, tired, yes, no, and the names of one or two close people. Add them to Favorites.
Add medication names, dietary preferences, and short scripts for routines like meals or visits from a grandchild. Photo icons help if reading is affected.
Use Aacoris in everyday situations the speech-language pathologist is targeting in sessions. Consistency between clinic and home is what builds confidence.
