Tap a tile. Hear a word.
Pie Talker is a free communication app for anyone who needs a voice. Open a link, start talking. Works on any device with a browser.
Set up in two minutes. No accounts. No downloads.
A quick setup, then you're talking
The wizard asks a few questions—name, communication stage, vocabulary packs, language, and a look & feel preference. Under a minute. Then you're on the communication screen.
Add family members, pets, and interests during setup and the app automatically creates personalized tiles with their names.
Tap tiles, build phrases, speak
Tap any tile and it speaks the word. Tap multiple tiles to build a phrase in the strip at the top, then hit the green Speak button to hear it as a sentence.
Quick phrases sit above the grid for one-tap access to things you say every day.
Organized into folders
Vocabulary is organized into folders—Food, People, Feelings, Actions, and more. Tap a folder to open it, use the breadcrumb trail to jump back. Search across the entire vocabulary tree to find any word instantly.
Simple on the surface. Powerful underneath.
The defaults work great without touching settings. When you need more, it's there.
Smart predictions
The prediction row suggests words based on what's been said before, the time of day, and the current situation. Tap a suggestion to add it to your phrase.
Turn on Enhanced Suggestions to see a Discover section with new words from the full ARASAAC library. Tap one to add it as a tile. The vocabulary grows naturally.
Customize everything
Long-press any tile to edit it. Change the label, pick from 13,000+ ARASAAC symbols, add a personal photo, fix the pronunciation, or record audio in anyone's voice.
- Personal photos—use the camera or upload from your device
- Pronunciation hints—type how it should sound
- Audio recording with trim—Mom's actual voice on the Mom tile
- Fitzgerald Key color categories
Make it yours
Four design styles—Playful, Modern, Classic, and High Visibility. Light mode, dark mode, or match your system. Pick an accent color. Choose OpenDyslexic or Lexie Readable fonts. Adjust the icon-to-label balance from symbol-only to text-only.
These are visual styles, not age categories. A 40-year-old can use Playful. A 12-year-old can use Classic. Whatever feels right.
17+ languages and translator mode
Display tiles in one language, speak in another. A Spanish-speaking child reads tiles in Spanish; the device speaks English to the teacher. Turn on dual-language labels to show both languages on every tile.
Powered by ARASAAC—symbols are universal, labels switch per language.
