HeyPad
Portable AAC Communication on iPad
HeyPad is a dedicated iPad-based communication device designed for people who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). Combining the power and familiarity of an iPad with a robust communication-focused case and the Allora text-to-speech app, HeyPad provides a reliable, portable solution for everyday communication.
With its 11-inch touchscreen, powerful integrated speakers and ergonomic carry handle, HeyPad is designed to travel with you wherever communication is needed — at home, in school, at work, or out in the community.
Built for daily life, the device is durable, easy to handle, and simple to operate, making it ideal as a primary communication device.
Designed for Everyday Communication
HeyPad supports individuals who have speech impairments and rely on technology to express themselves. Users can create messages using text, word prediction, and stored phrases, which are then spoken aloud using high-quality text-to-speech technology.
Communication can be accessed through:
• Touch interaction
• Switch access
• Eye tracking via the front camera.
This flexible access makes HeyPad suitable for a wide range of AAC users with different motor and access needs.

Powered by the Allora App
HeyPad comes with the Allora communication app, a modern iOS application inspired by the familiar design of Allora 3, the classic text-based communication system.
The interface has been designed to feel familiar to existing users while remaining intuitive for new communicators. The Allora app includes:
-
On-screen keyboard for fast message creation
-
Word prediction to speed up typing
-
Sentence prediction for natural communication flow
-
QuickFires for commonly used phrases
-
Translation tools for multilingual communication
-
Clear speech output through high-quality speakers
Because the layout and workflow closely match the traditional Allora system, HeyPad can also serve as an excellent introduction to Allora 3 for users transitioning to a more advanced communication solution.
