Adaptive Keyboard
Type when hands are unsteady or stiff. Large keys, tremor-forgiving touch, personalized suggestions, and personal phrases reduce effort.
Say hello again.
Adaptive communication for literate adults with Parkinson’s, built for everyday conversations and the hardest days, with a voice that still feels like you.
Why Verallo exists
When words need another way.
Parkinson’s can make communication unpredictable. For some people, speech becomes quiet, slurred, or impossible for others to understand. For others, tremor, stiffness, fatigue, or handwriting changes make typing and writing harder, even when speech is still clear. These challenges can overlap, progress over time, or shift throughout the day. For literate adults, thinking can stay sharp even when voice and hands don’t cooperate.
Treatments can help with some symptoms, but they do not guarantee a dependable way to communicate. Most communication tools still depend on at least one reliable channel, whether that is clear speech, steady typing, or legible handwriting. Parkinson’s does not work that neatly, so they can fail exactly when they’re needed most.
The person is still there, with thoughts, feelings, and words of their own. What’s missing is a reliable way to share them in the moment.
What Verallo does
Built to adapt to the person — not the other way around.
Verallo starts on iPad with a calm, focused experience for everyday back-and-forth. Asking, answering, joking, deciding. Every part of it is designed around real motor constraints, so communication stays possible as speech, typing, and handwriting get harder.
Handwriting Input
Write when it feels more natural. Verallo can turn handwriting into clear text that can be spoken aloud, accommodating small, shaky, or crowded writing.
Speech-to-text
Speak when voice is available but hands are not. Basic dictation is Verallo’s first speech input, giving people another way into the same conversation flow.
However the words come in, Verallo can speak them aloud in a personalized voice, including one modeled on their own when available, highlight each word as it goes, or help those words reach the people and places that matter.
Adaptive by design
Built for the hardest days.
Parkinson’s rarely holds steady from morning to night, and neither do the physical abilities communication depends on. Verallo is designed for fatigue, stiffness, and day-to-day variability, so communication can stay reliable on hard days, with the person still in control.
Verallo is built first for literate adults living with Parkinson’s. Much of what makes it work can also help people living with ALS, stroke, cerebral palsy, and other conditions where speech and motor control, not cognition, become the bottleneck.
What Verallo stands for
Five commitments.
Connection
In the conversation, not on the sidelines. Typing, handwriting, and speech flow into the same simple actions. Speak it aloud, or help the words reach the people and places that matter.
Agency
More control when communication gets harder. Verallo helps people say what they mean, ask for what they need, make choices, and stay part of the moment on their own terms.
Dignity
Built for adults whose words are still their own. A calm, mature interface without cartoon symbols or gamified pressure, and language that explains and reassures, never blames.
Identity
Your words, in your style. A personalized voice when available, a phrase library that reflects how you actually talk, and suggestions you can accept, edit, or ignore.
Adaptation
Reliable as things change. Verallo is designed to fit the moment as tremor, stiffness, fatigue, and communication needs change, so support can shift without making the person start over.
Privacy
Private by default.
Conversation is intimate, and Verallo treats it that way. Private by default, with no ads and no sale of personal messages, phrases, voice recordings, identifiable health information, or other identifiable personal data.
Verallo started with a son trying to help his dad. The first night he used it, his dad asked whether it could help others too.
For clinicians
A complement to care, not a replacement.
If you’re a speech-language pathologist, movement disorder neurologist, or part of a DBS care team, Verallo is worth a closer look. It offers adaptive communication support built around Parkinson’s motor variability, speech changes, fatigue, and daily real-world use, designed to work alongside the care you provide. We’d welcome your perspective.
Private beta
Say hello.
Verallo is beginning a private beta and expanding carefully to a small group of early users.
If Verallo might help someone you know, love, or support professionally, reach out with whatever context you can share. We want to understand what communication is like for them today, where support falls short, and how Verallo might help now or in the future.
Request early access
Tell us who this is for and what would help. We review every request.
Thank you.
Your request is in. We review each one as the beta expands, so it may take a few days.
