About Anan

We made it free because communication shouldn’t depend on a $300 device.

Anan is built by Metamorphosis Australia, a disability-services provider, and is designed to be set up and used under speech-pathology guidance.

Why we built Anan

Cost is the single biggest barrier to communication. Established AAC apps charge hundreds of dollars just for spoken output, and many need a dedicated device. We wanted the opposite: a communicator’s voice that is free forever and never locks, that runs on the phone, tablet or Chromebook a family already owns, and that keeps everything private on the device.

Now everyone can hear them.

On testimonials

Anan is an early, actively co-designed tool — not a finished clinical product. As families and speech pathologists use it, their consented feedback will appear here. We’d rather show you the real app than borrowed words — which is why the interactive demo on this site is the actual product, and every screenshot is the real interface.

Safe, ethical use

Anan is an accessibility and co-design tool, not a registered medical device or a substitute for assessment. Vocabulary should be configured with the communicator and under speech-pathology governance — the person’s own voice is never gated. Your data never leaves the device unless a carer explicitly turns on end-to-end-encrypted sync.
