Features

Designed from AAC first principles — and past them.

Everything a communicator needs, free and offline — with the professional tools carers and clinicians ask for, one tap away.

Free & offline

Installs on any phone, tablet, Chromebook or computer and works with no internet. Cost should never be the reason someone has no voice — for the communicator, Anan is free forever.

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.

NDIS-ready reports, built in

Organises what was recorded — usage counts, goal notes, vocabulary change — into a plan-review structure the treating clinician completes and signs.

Your words & language

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

Six free symbol sets

Choose how words look — the original Anan Built-in set, three complete 207-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.

Made for access

Large error-tolerant targets, high-contrast and reduced-motion modes, switch scanning, and a real Australian voice.

Built-in learning

Gentle, errorless literacy and communication practice — letters, sounds, reading and sentence-building. No tests, every try encouraged.

Speak it or show it big

Say the message aloud in a natural voice — or show it full-screen in large text for a partner to read in a noisy room. Plus a fast word search across every board.

Same words. Your style.

Switch symbol looks any time — the original Anan Built-in set, colourful Classic, dignified Bold, gentle Soft, High Contrast for low vision, or 2,903 open Mulberry symbols. The library adapts to the communicator, and no tile ever moves.

The Anan all-boards overview: Core words, Quick chat, Describing, People, Food & drink, Play & places, Feelings, Body & health, Colours, Numbers & time, Places, Activities, Animals, Clothing and Transport, each a tap away

A library for every life.

Ready-made pages for home, school and everywhere between — one tap opens any board, and search finds any word across all of them. Add your own words, photos and home-language vocabulary too.

Your voice never locks.

Communicating with Anan is free forever. If a plan ever lapses, only the carer & clinician toolset pauses — the voice keeps speaking.

The Core board — fixed positions, colour-coded categories, one big Speak button.
Themed boards for food, people, feelings, places and more — a tap away.
The Symbol Library — browse and search thousands of symbols, and switch the look.
Learn — gentle, errorless literacy and communication practice.
