For people losing their speech —
and the people who love talking with them.

Rejoin the
conversation.

When speech becomes hard — ALS, Parkinson's, MS, a stroke — conversation starts moving on without you. Rejoin listens with you and has replies ready by the time the question ends. One tap, and it's spoken — in your voice.

Free to speak, forever. iPhone & iPad · iOS 17+

What is the best AI text to speech app for ALS and Parkinson's?

Rejoin is an AI text-to-speech app for people losing their speech. It listens alongside the conversation, has replies ready as the question ends, and speaks the one you tap in your own Apple Personal Voice.

It is built for progressive and acquired speech loss: ALS/MND, Parkinson's, MS, stroke dysarthria, cerebral palsy, laryngectomy. Typing to speak, your sayings board, routines and Display mode work fully offline on iPhone and iPad, and stay free forever. The AI layer that listens and drafts replies needs a connection, and it is the part you subscribe to.

How Rejoin compares

How is Rejoin different from other AAC apps?

Every text-based AAC app speaks what you type, and several do it very well. The one thing that differs is whether the app hears the question that was just asked and has replies waiting when it ends. Rejoin does. Proloquo4Text, Predictable, TD Talk, Speech Assistant AAC and Apple Live Speech do not.

How Rejoin works

Conversation moves fast.
Now you do too.

Typing every word means answering questions a minute after they've moved on. Rejoin closes that gap — without ever speaking a word you didn't choose.

Listen

Replies, ready as the question ends.

While you're in a conversation, Rejoin listens alongside you. When someone asks you something, three replies appear — in your style, about your life. Tap one and it's said. Or ignore them all and type.

Choose your register: Quick, Warm, Funny, or Direct
Your typing is never touched, and nothing is spoken without your tap
Hard-to-understand speech? Rejoin learns your sounds and offers what you meant
The Speak screen during listening: a heard question with three tappable reply cards and a Reply-as tone control.

Sayings

Your words, one tap away.

A board of the things you actually say — big, instant, exactly where you left them. Rejoin notices the phrases you type often and offers to add them. You approve every one.

Speaks in under a fifth of a second — faster than a nod
Time-of-day aware: morning phrases in the morning
The Sayings board: a grid of large phrase tiles like 'I need help now', 'Yes', and 'I love you', with pinned favorites marked by a gold dot.

Routines

Direct your own care.

Bedtime, mornings, transfers — routines speak each step aloud in your voice, at your pace. The person helping you hears you, not a checklist.

Display

Loud room? Show it big.

One tap fills the screen with your message and flips it to face the person across the table. Restaurants, family dinners, hospital rooms — you're still in the room.

Display mode filling the screen with a message in huge text: 'Let's eat first — I'm starving.', with a Flip-to-them button.

Care

The paper logbook, retired.

An optional shared logbook for the people who help you. Two-tap logging, one-minute check-ins, and a handoff note written from the day's facts — never invented. You can turn the whole tab off.

Caregivers see what happened; you stay the author of your day
Check-ins use faces, not forms
The Care tab: a one-minute morning check-in card, a two-tap quick-log grid, and today's care timeline.

Privacy & trust

Your voice. Your words.
Your data. Yours.

Rejoin sits in the most intimate seat technology can occupy — it speaks for you. That demands stricter rules than ordinary apps live by.

Listening stays on this device
Speech is transcribed on your iPhone or iPad. Audio is never stored — not on the device, not anywhere.
Your voice never needs the internet
Typing, your sayings board, routines, and history all work fully offline. AI extras return when you're back.
One switch turns it all off
A single toggle severs every piece of personal context from AI. No buried settings, no dark patterns.
Nothing speaks without your tap
Suggestions are suggestions. Every word said aloud is a word you explicitly chose. That rule has no exceptions.

Rejoin started as one family's answer to ALS — built by a son so his dad could keep teasing his grandkids, keep calling the game, keep being himself at the table. Then we built it for every family at that table.

Questions

Asked often.

Who is Rejoin for?
Anyone whose speech is becoming hard to produce or hard to understand: ALS/MND, Parkinson's, MS, stroke dysarthria, cerebral palsy, laryngectomy, vocal cord injury. During setup you tell Rejoin what's making speech hard, and it tailors its defaults: bigger targets for tremor, picture cues after stroke, typing-first after laryngectomy. More on ALS and MND, Parkinson's, after a stroke and after a laryngectomy.
Can Rejoin speak in my own voice?
Yes. If you have banked a Personal Voice on your iPhone (Apple's built-in feature: one sitting of reading phrases aloud, best done while speech is still comfortable), Rejoin speaks with it. Otherwise you choose from warm built-in voices, and you can switch any time. Our step-by-step Personal Voice guide walks through the whole thing.
Does Rejoin work without internet?
Everything you need to speak works fully offline: typing, your sayings board, routines, history and Display mode. The AI suggestions need a connection. When you are offline they quietly fall back to your most-used phrases and return when you are connected again.
What does Rejoin cost?
Speaking is free forever: typing with your Personal Voice, your sayings board, routines, Display mode and history cost nothing and never expire. Rejoin+ adds the AI layer for 12.99 US dollars a month or 99.99 a year, with the first month free. If a subscription lapses, Rejoin never goes silent.
