Discover AAC voice options
A voice is a unique piece of someone’s identity. For people with disabilities that impact communication, AAC (short for augmentative and alternative communication) provides a way to gain or reclaim a voice. Through a comprehensive range of language and voice options, we ensure individuals born without the ability to speak due to conditions such as autism or cerebral palsy can find a voice that reflects who they are.
Those who have lost their voice due to a progressive condition such as MND also have access to a diverse variety of options from leading voice software providers including Acapela, Microsoft and ElevenLabs.

Let’s take a look at the voice options available with Tobii Dynavox communication devices:
Included Pre-made Voices
Get started right away with a wide selection of pre-made, synthetic voices that are included in our TD software. Choose from 350+ high-quality neural voices across 100 languages—available to download and use offline. AAC users can easily find a voice that sounds like them, with options for different accents, genders, and age groups. Voices can be personalised further by adjusting pitch, tone, and speed within TD applications.
Banked individual voices
Create a voice that’s truly your own. Voice banking allows people to preserve their voice or create one using a family member or friend’s voice. Tobii Dynavox supports voice banking for both children and adults. These personalised voices reflect age, identity, accent, and personality, with online and offline options available depending on the provider.
Voice banking with Acapela My-Own-Voice
An Acapela MOV licence is included free of cost on qualifying dedicated TD devices. Personalised voices created in advance on the My-Own-Voice website, help children begin their AAC journey with a voice that reflects their identity. For people with progressive conditions, early voice banking ensures timely access to a familiar voice—without delays caused by funding or geographic limitations.
AAC voice options for pMND
Your voice is a unique piece of your identity. For people with MND, preserving that identity is possible through voice banking, message banking, or a combination. These methods allow you to express yourself in a way that feels familiar and truly personal. If using your own voice isn’t possible, you can create a custom voice with a donor (such as a family member or friend) who reflects your tone, accent, and personality.
Create your voice
Getting started is simple. Bank your voice in advance on the My-Own-Voice website and have it ready to use when your device arrives, so you can communicate like you from day one. An Acapela My-Own-Voice licence is included with every qualifying dedicated TD device, free of cost, ensuring timely access while enabling you to focus on care and communication planning, without concerns about funding gaps or geographic limitations.
Pre-made voice options
If you prefer a pre-made synthetic voice, TD software offers a diverse range of high-quality neural voices in over 100 languages, with options across different accents, genders, and age groups. These voices can be easily downloaded to your TD device.
AAC voice options for autistic people
Individuality matters, especially for children and teens. With a wide selection of pre-made voices across 100+ languages, AAC users can choose a voice that reflects who they are. Each voice can be further personalised by adjusting pitch, tone, and speed for more natural communication. If a pre-made option isn’t the right fit, communicators can create a voice using their own or a donor’s voice, reflecting their tone, accent, and identity, all seamlessly integrated into TD software.
