The vocabulary system that’s helped thousands with communication is now available on iOS.
We’re excited to announce that Unity®, the research-backed vocabulary system trusted by AAC users worldwide, is now available as an iOS app.
Meet Unity® AAC: your voice, your way, now on the iOS platform you know and love.
For decades, Unity® has been the foundation of communication for thousands of people using AAC. Its unique approach using multi-meaning icons and consistent motor patterns has helped communicators build language skills and achieve their communication goals.
What is Unity®?
Unity® is a language system that uses multi-meaning icons arranged in a consistent organisational structure with symbol family trees.
Words have a unique motor pattern that never changes, allowing users to develop automatic recall and focus on communication rather than navigation.
The system supports language development – from first words to conversational communication.
Unity® can be a great choice for:
- Individuals with apraxia, cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, and other diagnoses involving receptive or expressive language needs
- Beginner and experienced communicators across all ages and literacy levels
- People seeking motor planning consistency with grid size variety.
Why was Unity® on iOS our #1 Requested App?
Unity® AAC has been one of our most requested apps for years.
With Unity® AAC, you’ll find:
- Accessibility: Access Unity® vocabulary on your personal iOS or Via device
- Convenience: Familiar iOS interface with the reliability of research-backed vocabulary
- Opportunity: Both 1-Hit and Sequenced options allow communicators to develop their skills over time
- Flexibility: Choose from multiple grid sizes (28, 36, 60, 84) to match individual needs – addressing the AAC community’s request for “an iOS Minspeak system vocabulary with grid size variety.”
“This Unity® AAC app does not disappoint! It provides users with a robust AAC app that can support emergent to advanced communicators all within the same app. It allows users to select the grid size and version that best meets their needs as one can choose from the version that has access to only frequently used words to the full version that gives access to complex vocabulary and all parts of speech. I highly recommend it!”

Common Questions
Q: What about LAMP Words For Life® users?
A: If you know LAMP Words For Life®, you’re already familiar with Unity® – and vice versa! Though they are similar, try not to compare these two apps directly. Unity offers grid size variety that complements the LAMP® approachh.
Q: Can Unity® AAC work as a backup?
A: The app can serve as a backup for your Via® device. But please know that the app has some differences to Unity® on NuVoice® so is not designed as a backup for an Accent® device.
Q: Who should consider Unity® AAC?
Q: Unity® AAC is great for:
- clinicians who love Unity® but find NuVoice® a little less user friendly,
- clinicians who want to use the LAMP therapy approach with a Minspeak® system providing different grid sizes,
- and anyone who prefers iOS platforms..
