Talk To Me Technologies

Talk To Me Technologies Speech-generating devices for children and adults, with the widest variety of access options.

Based in Cedar Falls, IA - Talk To Me Technologies opened its doors in 2006 by providing technology that allows those with disabilities to ‘speak’ in a synthesized voice when they tap symbols or type on an on-screen keyboard. The company has also been a national leader in providing eye-gaze technology, which allows those with limited physical
control to speak and control their home electronics (lights, TV, phone and more) by selecting on-screen options with their eyes). Connecting through school districts, medical clinics, veteran care facilities and individual family requests, Talk To Me Technologies’ team of speech-language pathologists and AAC Consultants work with each individual’s team to assess their communication and physical needs before pairing clients with their own personalized system. The company also
helps assess alternate methods of access and offers training
to help clients begin speaking with their new voice in their
day-to-day life. Talk To Me Technologies regularly provides in-services and training at health care facilities and schools throughout the country. Talk To Me Technologies complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or s*x.

Sometimes conversations don’t always go smoothly, and that’s a normal part of everyday interaction 💙

In her latest blog, our AAC Content Developer and SLP, Eva, explores why having ways to repair conversation matters, especially for people who use AAC and their communication partners.

Eva shares how Grid vocabularies include built-in tools that support communication repair - helping people ask for repetition, clarify meaning, ask for help, and stay part of the conversation.

Meet Samuel 👋

Samuel is 16 years old and was one of our user testers for Evo, our latest eye tracker. In this carousel, he shares how AAC fits into his everyday life - from school and social media to gaming, homework, and future goals.

Samuel also talks about the Grid features he loves, his experience testing Evo in real-world environments, and what he wishes more people understood about using AAC.

Stories like Samuel’s remind us that AAC is about access, time, and being heard every day, in every setting.
