Key Features
Simple speech support with large buttons, flexible customization, and data that stays under your control.
Speech Buttons
Say words and phrases with one tap.
Create buttons for needs, names, places, feelings, activities, yes, no, help, bathroom, or any message the user wants available throughout the day.
Sentence Building
Combine buttons before speaking.
Buttons can be lined up to build longer messages before the app speaks them out loud. This can be enabled or adjusted depending on what works best.
Type and Speak
Type a message directly.
The text field lets the user type a custom sentence and have it spoken out loud when a button for that exact message does not exist yet.
Fully Customizable
Adapt it to real life.
Create your own folders, buttons, icons, labels, and spoken text for the user's language, home, school, family, interests, and communication style.
Protected Settings
Keep the buttons protected.
Menu access, editing, deleting, and settings can be protected so the user can focus on communication without accidentally changing the setup.
Backup and Restore
Use local data or your own Google Drive.
Use the app locally, back up the communication board to your own Google Drive for restore or device changes, or export a backup through Android's system sharing tools.
Who is this app for?
Built for people who need speech support.
The app was originally shaped around autistic children and simple-use communication needs, but it can help many people who benefit from button-based speech, picture-supported communication, or a clear text-to-speech tool.
Non-speaking and minimally speaking children
Buttons, folders, and typed messages can give children another way to express needs, choices, feelings, and thoughts.
Autistic children and visual communicators
A clear, predictable button layout can support communication without adding unnecessary complexity.
People with speech difficulties
The app may help people who know what they want to say but need support speaking it out loud through a device.
Multilingual families
Buttons can be customized and spoken using the Android device's text-to-speech languages, including Finnish, German, English, and many others.
Families and support people
Parents, caregivers, teachers, therapists, partners, and support people can help shape the board around the user's real daily life.

Typical use cases
Frequently asked questions.
A few practical answers about speech support, customization, languages, and where private communication data is stored.
Is this app only for autistic children?
No. The app was originally designed with autistic children and simple-use speech support in mind, but it can also help non-speaking users, minimally speaking users, people with speech difficulties, visual communicators, multilingual families, and anyone who benefits from button-based communication.
Is this an AAC app?
It can be used as a simple AAC-style communication app. It supports button-based speech, sentence building, and direct text-to-speech, but it is not meant to replace professional assessment or therapy.
Can the app be used in Finnish?
Yes. The menu is available in Finnish, and buttons can use the text-to-speech languages supported by the Android device. Families can create their own Finnish words, phrases, folders, and categories.
What does Minun ÄÄNI mean?
Minun ääni means "my voice" in Finnish. Minun means "my" or "mine," and ääni means "voice" or "sound." In standard Finnish, "my voice" is often written as minun ääneni; the app name uses a shorter, brand-style form to reflect the idea that a person can communicate with their own chosen words, pictures, and messages.
Can I create my own buttons and folders?
Yes. The app is fully customizable. You can create your own buttons, folders, labels, icons, and spoken text.
Can buttons speak immediately?
Yes. Buttons can be set up to speak their name or phrase directly when pressed.
How do I delete a button or page?
Hold the button or page for three seconds while using a mode that allows editing.
Can the user build sentences or type a message?
Yes. Buttons can be lined up to build longer messages before speaking, and the app also includes a text field for typing a custom message.
Where is the data stored?
Data is stored locally on the device by default. If Google Drive backup is enabled, the backup is stored in the user's own Google Drive. We do not store private communication content on our servers.
Can someone else help manage the setup?
Yes. A trusted parent, caregiver, teacher, therapist, or other support person can help directly on the device. Protected settings can keep important setup actions separate from everyday communication.
Can the app be used without Google login or Google Drive?
Yes. The app can be used locally without Google login and without enabling Google Drive backup. Google is only needed for optional Drive backup and restore; manual export and import use Android's system file and sharing tools.
