Tap. Speak.
Keep going.

For when the words are there but won't come out, Strive Talk keeps everyday communication close.

Tap-to-Speak
One tap on any card and the app speaks it aloud — instantly, naturally. No typing. No menus. No delay.
Fully Customizable Cards
Build a personal library of words and phrases. Color-code by category. Add emojis for fast visual recognition.
Single-Hand Operation
Every interaction is designed for one finger, one thumb, or even a stylus. No pinching, no swiping, no two-handed combos.
Offline Support
Designed to keep key communication cards available after setup, so weak connections do not stop every interaction.
Voice Customization
13 voice languages, adjustable pitch and speed. Settings are remembered automatically — set it and forget it.
Privacy-Minded
Built to minimize setup friction and keep communication simple without asking patients to manage a complicated account flow.
Accidental-Delete Protection
Cards can only be removed in a deliberate delete mode — essential for users with motor control challenges.

THE PROBLEM

With traditional communication devices

Every day in the clinic, we see the same story: patients who need to communicate, stuck fighting their tools instead of focusing on recovery. Part of the problem is cost: many traditional devices run $3,000-$8,000.

Too heavy to carry
Patients already managing wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility aids don't need another bulky device weighing them down.
Demands two hands
Many dedicated devices assume full fine motor control — exactly what stroke and mobility patients have lost.
Creates social stigma
Carrying a dedicated medical device signals disability in every room. That stigma stops patients from using the tools they need.
Costs thousands
Dedicated communication devices can cost $3,000-$8,000. Insurance coverage is uncertain. Cost should never determine whether someone has a voice.
Complex to set up
Long setup processes, professional programming requirements, and confusing interfaces frustrate patients and caregivers.
Fails without power or Wi-Fi
Many solutions require internet connections or frequent charging. Communication needs don't pause for tech problems.

As a therapist, I see patients every single day who need to communicate but are let down by the tools available to them. Strive Talk was built to remove every barrier I could see — cost, complexity, bulk, and stigma — so patients can stop fighting their device and start focusing on what matters: being heard.

Patients and caregivers
finally have a voice

★★★★★

My husband had a stroke 8 months ago. This app completely changed how he communicates at home. He uses it one-handed and it looks just like any other app on his phone — no one stares anymore.

Maria G. — Caregiver, Las Vegas
★★★★★

I've recommended this to three of my stroke patients already. The fact that they can add their own phrases makes it so much more practical than anything I've seen before.

Dr. Rachel T. — Speech-Language Pathologist
★★★★★

I was spending a fortune on equipment. Strive Talk does more than my old device and it fits in my pocket. I don't have to explain it to anyone — it just looks like I'm using my phone.

What caregivers ask first

Is this covered by insurance?

STRIVE Talk is designed as an affordable app-based option and is not presented here as an insurance-covered medical device. The goal is to reduce cost and setup friction for everyday communication.

Does it work without WiFi?

Key communication cards are designed to remain available after setup, so weak connections do not stop every interaction.

What is the difference between this and a dedicated AAC device?

STRIVE Talk is an on-the-go communication app for the phone someone already owns. It is not meant to replace every traditional device, but to make communication easier outside the clinic, at home, and in real life.

Does it work for ALS and cerebral palsy?

It may help people with ALS, cerebral palsy, stroke, aphasia, dysarthria, and other communication challenges who benefit from simple tap-to-speak cards.

Can a caregiver set it up for someone else?

Yes. STRIVE Talk is built for fast setup by patients, caregivers, family members, therapists, and SLPs.

Give your patients
their voice back.

Strive Talk takes two minutes to set up and works on the phone they already own. Start early access today and follow along as the App Store version gets closer.
