A communication tool for tablets
FiloLemma lets you put a sentence together by tapping pictures and words — then says it out loud. Big, calm, colour-coded buttons make it easy to find the right word.
What it is
FiloLemma is a simple board of pictures and words. Tap them in order and they line up into a message that the tablet reads aloud. Words are grouped and colour-coded so sentences are easy to build, and FiloLemma can tidy them into natural phrasing if you like — switching between now, past and future, or turning a sentence into a question, with a single tap. It's made for anyone who finds it easier to tap pictures than to type or speak.
Each kind of word has its own colour, so the right one is easy to find — no reading required.
Tap a few key words and FiloLemma can shape them into a full, natural sentence. Optional — your own words always work too.
Add your own names, places and photos so the board feels personal from the first day.
One tap changes the whole sentence between now, past and future — or turns it into a question.
Choose a voice and adjust the speed and pitch so it sounds the way you'd like.
Everything runs on the device. There's no account, and nothing you say is collected or sent.
Build and speak in English, French (Français) or Dutch (Nederlands). Switch language any time in Settings.
Try it
