What Talk With Me does

Talk, learn, play & create

One simple app, four powerful ways to build conversation.

💬

Talk

Talk With Me enables learners with special needs to have reciprocal conversations with a partner. Each sentence is represented by a series of images, so learners experience the conversation in image, text and sound. Suitable for learners of all verbal abilities.

🧠

Learn

Talk With Me aids learning of a variety of topics, like greeting people, discussing likes and dislikes, and learning routines, building language skills, thinking skills and social skills.

🎲

Play

Talk With Me makes conversing playful. Children chat and explore through topics they love, so practising real conversation feels like play, keeping them relaxed, engaged and motivated.

✏️

Create

Have conversations about your personal life, talking about your pet, planning a trip, or preparing to receive a guest. Just type in the sentences and Talk With Me does the rest: splitting them into meaningful chunks and attaching the right image to each.

Endless conversations

So much to talk about

From everyday routines to favourite things, navigate and shuffle through topics your child loves.
