My World: Tap to Talk. A mother and child using a communication board built from the child's own world, on a tablet.

Most communication apps make a child learn abstract symbols before they can say anything. My World flips it: your child's actual food, toys, people, and home become their vocabulary, rendered in the style they love. Tap a tile, it talks.

How it works

Three steps. The vocabulary belongs to your child.

No clinical-looking icons your child has to memorize. No six-month insurance battle. Just photographs of their world, transformed into a style they want to look at.

Step 01

Photograph it.

Snap a photo of anything your child uses every day: a favorite snack, their bear, Grandma. One tap from the app; the photo is saved the moment it uploads, and a Pending tile marks where it will land.

Step 02

We transform it.

The photo is redrawn in the art style your child loves, or kept as the exact photo, free, if that's what works. Same object, recognizable, beautiful, and consistent across their whole board.

Step 03

They communicate.

The tile lands on their tablet in the spot you chose, and stays there. They tap. It speaks in the voice you picked. The world they recognize is the words they have.

The same two children's real faces shown redrawn in computer-animated, anime, and puppet styles, always recognizably them. A real apple and a real toy train redrawn in computer-animated, anime, and puppet styles, the same recognizable objects.

Their face stays their face. Their apple stays their apple. The style changes; the world doesn't. See a whole board live →

Try the look

Pick your child's style.

During onboarding, you choose the style your child responds to. Every tile in their world is rendered that way, with your child as the recognizable anchor. Here are real examples in five of the styles families can pick.

Example tiles rendered in the selected style
3D Animated: bright, dimensional characters, like a still from an animated film.

Inside the app

Four ways in: talking, listening, learning, playing.

Listening mode

Your speech becomes their pictures.

Ask a question out loud, like "apple or banana?", and the words you say appear as picture tiles on your child's board, live, so they can see the choice and answer it. Every heard word that matches a tile is tappable; a built-in filter keeps anything you wouldn't want on screen off it, on by default.

Listening mode: a parent asks 'apple or banana?' and the spoken words appear as picture tiles on the child's board.
Teaching mode: a child taps a word and hears friendly facts about it; a parent's phone shows which words were explored.
Teaching mode

Tap a word. Learn what it means.

With tap-to-learn on, a tap speaks the word, and quick taps after it teach a fact about it, up to three, in your child's board voice. "Teach me" turns the folder they were just exploring into a short, friendly lesson. You choose whether their board pronounces or teaches; both are one toggle.

Sentence constructor

From single words to whole sentences.

When your child is ready, the sentence builder lets them stage tiles into a strip, like "I love you mom", and play the whole thing back as one utterance. It stays hidden until you turn it on, so the board grows with them instead of overwhelming them on day one.

Sentence constructor: a child builds 'I love you mom' from tiles and plays it back as one sentence.
Quiz mode: the board speaks a word and the child taps the matching picture; a parent's phone shows accuracy over time.
Quiz mode

Hear a word. Tap the right picture.

The 🙋 button starts a short, self-paced quiz about whatever your child was just exploring: ten questions, never a marathon. Wrong answers gently re-teach; progress lands in your parent view so you can see what's mastered and what's next.

Built for trust

Your child's photos stay your family's.

Every photo and picture is stored privately and can only be viewed by the people you've invited to your child's board. No other family can ever reach them. No advertising, no data sold, and everything you make is archived, never deleted: swap a picture and the old one waits in the album, one tap from coming back.

Working with a speech therapist? Invite them. They can review the board and run activities, and you keep control.

Grown-up tools

You can talk back, from your phone.

Respond in your child's own vocabulary from your phone: tiles light up on their screen in sequence, then the sentence speaks aloud. And when something needs attention, like a picture that missed or a tile that failed, the app tells you and offers a one-tap fix, instead of leaving you to wonder.
