Jellow is an AAC communication solution that uses icons to help people learning to speak or experiencing speech and language difficulties communicate. Jellow Basic is designed especially for children and can also serve toddlers aged 3+ and early learners. It includes around 1,200 icons, more than 10,000 premade sentence lines, and a keyboard for making new spoken sentences. The Basic vocabulary is available in 16 languages, including Bangla, English, French, German, Hindi, Spanish, Tamil, and Urdu. Basic can work offline, connect to external switches, and uses Google Text-to-Speech for voice output. Jellow Customised lets users build personal boards with library icons or their own images and text; the maker says it is free to use for now. Other offerings include Jellow Plus, designed especially for adults, and Jellow Care, for people with sudden speech or hearing loss. Jellow Talk converts speech to text and reads typed text aloud, with continuous listening, searchable conversation threads, and offline use.
