Only 10.6% of Indians speak any English. Nearly every AAC app in India is English-first. So we built Katha — a letterboard AAC app that works in Bangla and Hindi as fully as English. Offline. No ads, no tracking, no subscription. Live on Play Store: play.google.com/store/apps/d…

Three languages is a start, not a finish. Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, Odia, Punjabi, Assamese — all deserve this. Doing it right needs native speakers and SLPs working in those languages. If that's you, get in touch.

It's paid, priced to stay affordable. But nobody should go without a voice because of money. If cost is a barrier, email [email protected] and we'll send a 100% discount code. No questions, no proof needed.

Fully offline. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no network calls. Nothing typed on Katha ever leaves the device. One-time purchase. No subscription.

Access built in, not bolted on: → Dwell selection + row-column scanning for switch users → 72dp minimum touch targets → Adjustable key and font size → WCAG AAA high-contrast theme

Katha is a letterboard AAC app that works in Bangla and Hindi as fully as it does in English. → Avro-style phonetic layout for Bangla → Devanagari with matra + halant support → Word prediction tuned per language → Phrase bank for what gets said most

Aadhaar Enrollment system for OCIs is a joke, at least in Salt Lake, Kolkata. I have not seen a more poorly managed and unreliable system in recent times. Please fix it and save the embarrassment! @UIDAI @GoI_MeitY
