Cboard
Venture Overview
Cboard builds accessible, AI-powered communication tools that help people with speech disabilities communicate independently across languages, devices, and care settings.
Through Cboard Access, the venture helps people with speech disabilities communicate in public spaces by turning any smartphone into an instant, free AAC tool through a simple QR code. Cboard is working to make communication support more available in hospitals, schools, government offices, and community services, so people who are non-speaking can express their needs, choices, and rights with dignity.
