Back to the iMoSaT family iMoSaT Tell

When words are hard to reach, your Buddy can help you communicate what you need.

Sometimes words are available, and sometimes stress, overwhelm or uncertainty makes them difficult to reach. Tell offers another way to communicate—whether speech is usually easy, changes depending on the situation, or is not the child's main way of communicating.

I'm ready when you are.No rush. Pause, stop or change your mind.
Communication can change from moment to moment

Tell meets the child where they are right now.

A child might speak freely in one place and find words impossible in another. Tell keeps several ways to communicate available without treating one method as the right method.

Choose It

Use your Buddy to help choose from familiar prepared messages when words feel hard to reach.

Build It

Build a message with your Buddy, step by step, using clear words and pictures.

Say It Myself

Record privately while your Buddy waits, then listen back and decide what happens next.

Quick Tell

Let your Buddy help reach a small set of important messages quickly when capacity is very low.

Body communication

Showing can count when explaining is too much.

A child can use a simple body view to point to where something feels uncomfortable, different or important. They can add only what they want to communicate, without being required to explain why.

  • Point, choose a picture or use familiar wording.
  • Take more time, go back or stop.
  • Share only the finished message they choose.
A recording stays theirs

Play it. Share it. Save it. Delete it.

After recording, the child stays in control. They can listen again, choose to share the message, save it locally for later or delete it. A saved message can have a familiar picture so it is easier to find.

  1. 1Record privatelyNo automatic transcription or analysis
  2. 2Listen backTake as much time as needed
  3. 3Choose what happensShare, save locally or delete
Privacy that respects the child

Private exploration is not parent surveillance.

Recordings stay on the device

Tell recordings remain local to the child's device. They are not uploaded or placed in a hidden Parent Hub playback archive.

Exploring stays private

Unfinished recording, private exploration and abandoned choices do not become history and do not appear in a parent archive.

Only deliberate communication counts

Where communication history is enabled, it can show that a message was deliberately communicated. It never exposes raw recording content.

Familiar for the child. Practical for the parent.

Set up what helps, then keep adapting.

Parents and carers can personalise important people, things and wording, place useful choices first, tailor Quick Tell and adjust accessibility or audio preferences. The shared Profile can then be recognised across the wider iMoSaT family.
