A voice for
everyone.

Anan turns symbols into speech — an offline-first AAC app for people who find speaking hard. The communicator’s voice is free and never locks.

Try the live board just below — tap a word and Anan speaks it aloud.

Say it, and it’s heard.

This is the real thing — tap words, press Speak, and change the look without a tile ever moving. Turn on switch-scanning to drive it by ear.

Tap words to build a message…
Look:

Real Anan symbols (Mulberry set) and category colours. In the app you can also choose Built-in, Classic, Bold and Soft symbol styles — and no tile ever moves when you switch.

Free & offline

Installs on any phone, tablet, Chromebook or computer and works with no internet. Cost is the biggest barrier to communication — we removed it for the communicator.

Private insights

See which words are used most, and how vocabulary grows over time in tap-through trend charts — to guide vocabulary, never to test the person. Always calculated on the device.

One-tap NDIS report

Generate a plan-ready usage report for AT assessments and plan reviews — turning everyday use into funding evidence.

Your words & language

Add family names, foods and places — and words in your home language, First Nations or CALD vernacular, with custom pronunciation.

Five free symbol sets

Choose how words look — the hand-drawn Built-in set, three complete 212-symbol styles (Classic, Bold and Soft), or the 2,903-symbol open Mulberry library — and switch the look any time without a single tile moving. Every set is free.

Grammar that grows

Press and hold a word for its forms — eat → eating / ate, dog → dogs, big → bigger / biggest / very big. Single words become real sentences, with only the forms Anan is sure of.

Five symbol sets. All free.

Same word, your look — switch any time, and no tile ever moves. Here’s eat in each set.

A first tap, a first word out loud. This is what it looks like when a voice arrives — nothing reshuffles, the message is simply spoken.

The same power — without the price tag.

Established AAC apps charge hundreds of dollars just for spoken output. Here’s how Anan compares on the things that matter.

The voice is free. Forever.

Boards, speaking, typing, switch access and “I need…” never cost anything and are never locked. Optional carer & clinician tools start at A$6.99/week after a 14-day trial.

Anan is an accessibility tool, not a medical device and not NDIS-endorsed. Supports may be funded where reasonable and necessary — talk to your planner or support coordinator.
