Embbers publishes products dedicated to the new forms of language. We design environments where words come together differently — through image, association and intuition.
- 97 M people worldwide deprived of fluent speech
- 80% of behavioural disorders mask an underlying language deficit
- 1 in 14 children affected by a speech or language disorder
Three principles. One demand.
Every product we publish, present and future, shares the same grammar of design.
Simplify
The tool stays light; the use becomes obvious.
Our interfaces borrow the codes of everyday apps: no labyrinthine menus, no steep learning curve, no clinical aesthetic. Modern simplicity, picked up in seconds.
Anticipate
Anticipate thought without preceding it.
Our tools draw on the most advanced technologies in linguistic intelligence and language processing. The system always stays half a step behind intent: nothing composes itself without the user, the expression stays theirs, word by word.
Accompany
The exchange is built by two.
An Embbers product is not only for speaking out. It also lets those around our users address them in their own language: family, caregivers, teachers.
Who we design for
Those whose speech takes a different path.
Children building language, adults learning a tongue, professionals who accompany them. Embbers designs for varied life situations: each user’s singularity guides our products.
Our approach
Science, experts, communities.
Our products draw on scientific advances, are designed with experts, and validated with our user communities.
Scientific research
Our products draw on research in linguistics, language processing and cognitive sciences. No promise without a foundation.
What is at stake
- Linguistics
- Modelling languages and handling grammar automatically.
- Language processing
- Algorithms that understand a sentence and translate it into pictograms.
- Ergonomics
- Measuring mental effort and the natural rhythm of conversation.
- Libraries
- Pictograms drawn from recognised standards in assisted communication.
→ Hands off
What science brings to the experts: a solid frame, justified choices, substance ready to take shape.
International reach
Twelve languages, dozens of countries.
Our products are built from day one to run natively in twelve languages, covering the main territories of Europe, Latin America and English-, French-, Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking Africa.
