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.

Tip: the tiles speak — tap or press Enter on one.

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.

Thousands of symbols

Choose how words look — a hand-drawn built-in set, the 212-symbol Anan Classic set, or the 2,903-symbol open Mulberry library — and switch the look any time without a single tile moving.

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.

Some voices don’t begin with sound.
They begin with a tap.

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.
