CoughDrop is built on open web standards and compatible with the Open Board Format, enabling vocabulary boards to be shared freely between different AAC systems. The project is open-source on GitHub and a free limited plan is available alongside monthly and annual subscriptions.
Users select symbols or type text to generate speech across phones, tablets, Chromebooks, and dedicated devices. A dedicated Modeling Mode lets supporters demonstrate AAC use without altering the communicator's profile. Remote supervisors can review usage logs, update vocabulary, and send secure messages through linked accounts. Detailed language-use reports support clinical goal setting.
Any individual with complex communication needs — including autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and Rett syndrome — and the SLPs, teachers, and families who support them. The cross-platform design is particularly valuable for communicators who move between home, school, and clinical settings.
