Learning to talk
Children and adults who are not speaking yet, or not reliably, including autistic people and people with apraxia.
A voice for every word they want to say.
Kalaam turns pictures into speech. Tap a picture, build a sentence, and Kalaam says it out loud, in English, Urdu or Arabic.

See a day with Kalaam
Breakfast, school and bedtime, with the app’s real voices. Sound on, with captions.
How it works
Tap a picture, hear the word
326 everyday words, each with a clear picture and a natural voice. The core words stay in the same place, so hands learn where they are.
Build sentences that get faster
Kalaam suggests the next word and learns the sentences someone says most, on the device itself. “I want water” becomes one tap.
Speak the family’s language
English, Urdu and Arabic, with right-to-left layouts and recorded voices for every picture word. Try the language switch at the top of this page.
Make it theirs
Routines for the day, typed speech, dark mode and high contrast, screen reader support, and Kalaam Full Unlock for your own photos and voice.
Made for people who have a lot to say
Finding words again
Adults after a stroke or with aphasia, who need a quick way to say what they mean.
Families
Parents and carers who want home words, family names and the home language, not just English.
Therapists and teachers
A board that stays the same between therapy, class and home.
