Valence Vibrations

Currently, Vibes is only available for Apple Watches Series 4 and later. An iPhone standalone app is coming soon, and in the future we’d like to support other smart watches and platforms.

Vibes currently only supports North American English speakers, including age, gender, race, neurotype, geography and communication style diversity within North American English. More languages and accents are coming soon!

Vibes uses only on-device processing, so your vocal data and emotional classifications will never be accessed by us or a third party because they do not leave your device. Your watch will temporarily record brief intervals of speech to analyze the emotional content, but they are automatically deleted from your device within seconds, so you will not be able to access them either.

Vibes for Apple Watch costs $8.99 per month (with a one week free trial) or $89.99 per year on the App Store. We currently have a promotion running for 44% off the first year for yearly subscriptions, costing $49.99.

You can get your child an AAC device a few ways:

• Add it to your child’s IEP. If your child has an IEP, you can request that an AAC device be made part of it, and that they always have access to it in school. (Some schools will allow you to take the device home, too.)
• Ask your child’s doctor. You can request an evaluation for an AAC device through your child’s doctor. This requires an evaluation, and your child’s insurance should cover part (or all) of the costs.
• Buy one yourself. Many AAC devices are just apps installed on regular iPads or a tablet. They can be a bit pricey, but getting insurance to pay for AAC devices can take a long time.
