An AAC app for speech after a stroke

Built for dysarthria, and honest about where a text-based app is the wrong choice.

A stroke can change speech suddenly. Rejoin is built to carry the conversation with you: it listens alongside, has replies ready as the question ends, and speaks the one you tap in a voice that sounds like yours.

Whether Rejoin suits you depends on which kind of difficulty you have. Rejoin is text-based, so it works best for dysarthria, where you know exactly what you want to say but producing it clearly is hard. For aphasia, where finding or forming the words is itself the difficulty, a text-first app asks for the skill that has been affected. Some people with milder aphasia get real use from a phrase board; many will be better served by a symbol-based or picture-based system. A speech-language pathologist is the right person to help you decide, and we would rather say that plainly than oversell.

For dysarthria: your words, understood first time

When speech is slurred or effortful, Rejoin speaks clearly on your behalf. You can also speak as you can and let Rejoin show "you said something like…" with its best guesses. Tapping the right one speaks it and teaches Rejoin your sounds, so the guesses keep improving. That learning stays on your device.

A board for the words you use most

Your sayings board keeps everyday phrases one tap away, in the order you put them, and they never rearrange themselves. Routines handle the moments that repeat. Display mode fills the screen with your message and flips it to face the person opposite, which helps in noisy rooms and hospital wards. All of it works offline.

Your voice, if you banked it

A stroke is rarely something you see coming, so most people will not have recorded a Personal Voice beforehand. If you did, Rejoin speaks in it. If not, Apple's short three-word phrase recording may still work depending on your speech, and Rejoin's built-in voices are warm and adjustable. How Personal Voice works.

What is free

Speaking is free forever: typing to speak with your own voice, your sayings board, routines, Display mode and history, all working offline. Rejoin+ adds the AI layer that listens and drafts replies, for $12.99 a month or $99.99 a year with the first month free. That layer runs on a server, so it needs a connection. If a subscription lapses, Rejoin never goes silent.
