WordCatch
Understand every word.
WordCatch learns how someone with limited speech says their words, from real moments at home, then says them clearly, in full sentences, so everyone around them understands. It works alongside AAC apps like Proloquo2Go.
Tap once. Hear what they mean.
Tap the big button and let them talk. WordCatch stops by itself when they finish, shows their word big, and says it out loud in a natural voice.
Their vocabulary keeps growing.
Every confirmed word teaches it. Sounds it doesn't know yet are kept, and when the same sound keeps getting the same answer, WordCatch suggests the new word.
Teach it once. It keeps learning.
They repeat a word until someone says it back. WordCatch listens for that moment and learns from it, so the family teaches it just by talking the way they already do.
Built for one family. Ready for anyone.
Conversation mode
Talk as usual while their words appear as sentences and are said out loud. Words said one after another become one sentence.
What next?
After their word, big picture buttons offer what they usually say next, like “want” → cookie, outside, iPad. One tap finishes the sentence, and every tap teaches it their habits.
Finds new words
Sounds it doesn't know yet are kept. When the same sound keeps getting the same answer, it suggests the new word, so their vocabulary keeps growing.
Knows their voice
A voice model on the device tells them apart from family and caretakers, so it only ever learns from them.
Speaks for them, naturally
“cookie” becomes “I want a cookie, please,” in a natural voice. Sentences are made on the device, free.
Works with their AAC
Bring in their vocabulary from Proloquo2Go screenshots, a word list, a board file or a PDF, with pictures from free symbol sets.
Progress for their team
A report for their speech therapist or teacher, as a PDF or spreadsheet, with how they say each word and how well it's understood.
It stays on the device.
Only their voice is kept
Other people's speech is turned into text on the device to spot the moment they're understood, then thrown away.
The AI runs on the device
Speech detection, voice recognition, their personal model and sentences all run on the iPad or iPhone. No audio is ever sent anywhere.
No accounts, no tracking
No ads, no analytics. Backups go to a folder you choose, such as iCloud Drive. An optional diagnostics log is text only and stays on the device unless you share it.
Coming to the App Store.
WordCatch is being tested at home right now, with the family it was built for. It runs on iPad and iPhone, works alongside AAC apps like Proloquo2Go, and everything it hears and learns stays on the device.
