People with medical conditions that prevent them from speaking properly usually use electronic solutions, devices through which they can speak by selecting words. Such electronic solutions are referred to as "assisted speech solutions". A free and user-friendly app that performs this function on the iPad is Verbally.

Verbally is the first free Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) iPad app. Its simple design allows users to communicate quickly and effectively in any setting. The app features a "core words grid" that saves users up to half the time required by other AAC apps. Common phrases are displayed to quickly communicate one's meaning. Text prediction is supported, so frequently used words are easily made available for selection. Users can also select from 3 keyboard layouts.
