Speak for me

For the moments when words won’t come: a shutdown, a meltdown, a panic, a loud room, a stranger asking questions. Tap a message and your phone shows it in huge letters to whoever is in front of you. Build a card that explains what helps you, then print it for your wallet or keep it as your phone’s lock screen.

Private by design. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. It stays in this browser on this device, and one button erases it. This page runs no analytics or tracking. How we handle privacy. Tip: add this page to your home screen so it’s one tap away.

This tool needs JavaScript. Without it, you can still write your messages on paper or in your phone’s notes app, in big letters, before you need them: “I can’t speak right now, but I can hear you.” “Please give me a minute.” “Please write it down.”

Good to know

You decide who sees it

Showing a card is always your choice. You never owe anyone a diagnosis. The card can say as much or as little as you want, and “I have a condition that affects how I communicate” is enough.

It is not an ID

This card is something you made for yourself. It isn’t an official document, and it doesn’t change anyone’s legal rights or duties. Keep it with your real ID, not in place of it.

Practise when you’re calm

It’s easier to use in a hard moment if your hands already know the way. Open the board a few times on a good day, and show the card to people you trust so they know what it means.

Reaching for it

If you keep the card in a pocket or bag, the board has a message for that: “My card is in my pocket. May I get it?” Showing that first means nobody is surprised when your hand moves.

If you are in danger or thinking about suicide, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 24/7) or text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line). If someone’s life is at risk right now, call 911. More options: Get help now · Breathe and ground · Safety plan.
