TinkySpeak device cost

Traditional AAC devices cost thousands. Insurance processes take months. Many families, schools, and facilities simply go without. TinkySpeak was designed to close that gap — not by replacing clinical tools, but by putting a functional communication device in the hands of everyone who needs one, at a price point that removes the barrier.

Designed to Support Federal Accessibility Standards

TinkySpeak is built with federal accessibility frameworks in mind. Our tools are designed to help institutions meet their obligations efficiently and at scale.

FERPA

FERPA & COPPA Student Data Privacy

Zero data collection by design. No student data is transmitted, stored externally, or shared. All information remains on-device. No cloud accounts. No usage tracking. Designed to support FERPA and COPPA requirements by architecture.

We don't enforce policy. We build tools that make compliance easier.

Built for Scale

From a single classroom to an entire state education system.

No Per-Seat Licensing

Simple device + monthly pricing. No per-student charges, no annual contracts, no hidden fees. Scale up or down as needed.

Zero IT Infrastructure

No cloud. No servers. No accounts. No network dependencies. Every device works offline, out of the box.

P2P Sync

Update every device from a teacher or admin tablet. Push boards, update content — all over local WiFi. No internet needed.

QR Environment Integration

Print QR codes. Stick them on walls, desks, doors. Scan loads the right board for that space. Deploy signage across a building in an afternoon.

Multilingual Support

65+ languages built in. Serve diverse student and patient populations from the same device. Language switching is one tap.

Kiosk Mode

Lock devices to TinkySpeak. No accidental app exits. No settings changes. The device does one thing — communicate.

Data Security by Architecture

TinkySpeak's security model is simple: data never leaves the device. No cloud. No transmission. No collection.

N/A

Zero Data Transmission

No user data is ever transmitted off-device. No cloud servers. No API calls. No analytics beacons. The device operates in complete network isolation during normal use.

ON

On-Device Only Storage

All communication data, usage patterns, and custom boards remain on the physical device. No external storage. No backups to third-party servers. Device reset clears all data permanently.

P2P

Local-Only Sync

P2P Sync operates exclusively over local WiFi — device-to-device. No internet gateway. No data passes through external servers. Board updates stay within your facility's network.

EDU

FERPA & COPPA by Design

No student accounts. No student data collected. No behavioral tracking. No personally identifiable information stored or transmitted. The simplest way to protect student data is to never collect it.

What Partners Are Saying

Feedback from educators, clinicians, and administrators deploying TinkySpeak.

"We ordered 22 TinkySpeak tablets for our classroom. Classroom Sync changed everything — I push a lesson board and every student has it instantly. No IT tickets. No login issues. They arrived pre-loaded and ready."
Special Education Teacher — Texas School District
"As an SLP, I need tools that follow evidence-based practice. TinkySpeak uses Fitzgerald Key colors, supports Aided Language Display, and generates IEP-ready reports. It's the most accessible AAC option I've seen at any price point."
Speech-Language Pathologist — California
"We deployed TinkySpeak across our memory care unit. The orientation tiles reduced patient agitation significantly. Kiosk mode means residents can't accidentally exit. Staff needed zero training."
Memory Care Facility Director — Ohio
"The price point changed the conversation entirely. We went from budgeting for 3 traditional AAC devices to deploying communication tools across 4 classrooms. The pilot data spoke for itself."
Special Education Director — District Procurement
