Building communication boards from scratch takes time most families and teams don't have. SpeakAnyWay's AI tools help you go from an idea to a real, usable board in minutes — words, layout, and pictures included. You stay in control of every choice. We just make the first step doable.
Each tool does one practical thing. Use the ones that help, skip the ones that don't — nothing happens to a board until you say so.
Stuck on what to put on a board? Describe the situation and AI suggests words and short phrases that fit — in the board's language. Add the ones you like.
Let AI arrange your buttons into a clean, balanced grid that fits the screen — instead of nudging tiles around by hand.
Already have a board on paper or in another app? Snap a photo and AI reads the grid for you, so you can rebuild it here instead of starting over.
Need a picture for a word that doesn't have one? AI creates a clear, simple symbol from the word or a short description.
Like the idea but not quite the picture? Ask for another take on the same symbol and pick the one that reads best for your communicator.
Tweak a symbol you already have — change the colors, the background, or a small detail — without redrawing it from scratch.
Build a whole board around a real moment — ordering at a restaurant, a doctor visit, a first day of school. Answer a couple of questions and AI assembles the words and pictures into a ready-to-use board.
Turn a real restaurant menu — a photo or text — into a tappable board, so your communicator can order what they actually want, where you actually are.
AI drafts; you decide. Edit any word, swap any picture, or start over. And if a generation ever fails, your credits come right back automatically.
AI tools run on credits. Every plan includes a batch of credits that refresh each month — so you always know what something costs before you tap it.
Each plan includes a monthly pool of credits, refreshed automatically. The free plan includes a few to try things out; paid plans include plenty for regular building.
Browsing, editing by hand, and using your boards are always free. Credits are only used when you ask AI to make something — and the cost is shown up front.
Having a heavy building week? Add a credit pack whenever you like. Top-up credits don't expire, so they're there when you need them.
Here's the full list. Smaller tasks cost less; building a whole board from a scenario or menu costs a little more.

Good to know: when the scenario and menu builders reuse pictures that already exist in SpeakAnyWay, you're not charged extra for them. And if any AI step fails, your credits are refunded automatically.
Enough to try a few tools and see how AI building feels.
Room to format dozens of boards or build a handful of full scenarios every month.
Built for SLPs and teams supporting many communicators at once.

You don't have to build everything today. Make one board, let the AI help with the hard parts, and see how it feels. Everyone's voice matters — and everyone communicates differently.
