A communication board that grows with your child
VoiceBloom ships with hundreds of symbols from our exclusive illustration library (custom-designed icons you won't find anywhere else) covering every category a child could need: feelings, food, family, actions, places, animals, school, sports, body, time, and more. The mobile app on iPhone, iPad, and Android renders the full board with personalisation per child.
Every child is different. That's why VoiceBloom lets parents and therapists build a fully custom symbol board alongside the standard library. If your child loves a specific food, place, person, or activity that isn't in the default set, you can add it yourself in seconds. Upload any photo from your camera roll, give it a heading, and it appears on the board immediately. A picture of your family dog with the label "Buddy". A photo of their favourite pasta dish labelled "pasta". A picture of their classroom labelled with the teacher's name. Real, familiar images from your child's actual life (not generic clipart) can help accelerate symbol recognition and build communication confidence.
Custom symbols
Upload any photo → add a label → it appears on the board instantly. Works on iPhone, Android, and iPad.
VoiceBloom also turns everyday use into insight. It tracks which symbols your child uses most, what time of day they communicate most actively, and which combinations they are starting to build. That becomes a plain-language progress report every Monday and guides the built-in coach on what to work on next. And the board stays yours to shape: add custom symbols and arrange the tiles so your child's most-used words are front and centre.
For therapists and organizations, the board can be configured differently for each child and each session type. A morning routine board, a mealtime board, a classroom board, all accessible with one tap. Every configuration is saved and synced across all devices instantly.
Smart features
Understanding every child’s voice
VoiceBloom does more than display symbols — it speaks every tap out loud, fills the board with your child’s own world, and helps you support them.
Their world, on the board
Add a photo of their own cup, their dog, or grandma and VoiceBloom turns it into a tappable symbol that speaks its name. The board fills up with the people and things that matter most to your child.
Core words, always one tap away
The most common words stay in a fixed bar across the board, so your child can build sentences fast without hunting through categories. Fewer taps means less frustration.
A coach who knows your child
VoiceBloom’s built-in coach reads your child’s real session data and answers your questions — what to model next, why a word spiked, how to encourage two-word combos. It’s guidance grounded in how your child actually communicates, not generic tips.
