የኔ ቃል Logo

The first Amharic AAC platform

Empowering non-verbal and speech-delayed children to build sentences, express needs, and share their world — using pictures and Amharic words they already know.

How it works

Communication made simple in just three easy steps

1

Choose a Category

Browse through organized categories like food, feelings, activities, and more.

2

Select Pictures

Tap on colorful picture cards to build sentences and express thoughts.

3

Speak & Share

Press play to hear the message spoken aloud, helping children communicate.

Tailored for Amharic. Built for Connection.

Every picture and every button was made for Amharic-speaking children, so what a child means is what comes out.

Pictures from home

The pictures show the food, holidays, and family life Ethiopian children already know — injera, coffee, grandparents, Meskel — so a child recognises them straight away.

Show where it hurts

When a child is unwell, they tap the spot on a picture of the body. No more guessing which part hurts or how they feel.

Build full sentences

Children combine words and phrases to say complete thoughts — not just single words.

Every word stays put

Buttons are the same size and never move, so children learn where each word lives and find it faster the more they use it.

Inside the Interface

A look at the real screens children use every day.

The main screen

Big, clearly written Amharic words, with everyday replies like Yes, No, Please and Sorry always in the same place down the side. The strip along the top collects each word a child taps, so a full sentence builds up as they go.

Complete Core Modules

Alongside the areas shown above, the app comes with all of these, so children have the words they need at home, at school, and out in the world.
