About
Buzzlet is an accessibility-focused iOS application that helps non-verbal and speech-impaired users communicate through text-to-speech, visual communication boards, and customizable interaction layouts.
The platform is designed to support both expressive and receptive communication by providing intuitive digital tools that enable users to convey messages clearly in everyday situations. I worked as a Senior iOS Developer, leading the system architecture and full iOS implementation. The application was built to prioritise reliability, clarity, and ease of use so it could function effectively in real-world daily environments.

Our approach
Problem Statement
Non-verbal users and individuals with speech impairments often lack simple, reliable digital tools tailored to their communication needs. Many existing solutions are either overly complex or lack personalisation and accessibility considerations. A highly intuitive, customizable, and performance-optimised mobile solution was required to support everyday communication while remaining accessible to children, adults, caregivers, and educators.
Solution Architecture
I designed a modular native iOS architecture separating communication boards, text-to-speech services, user configuration, and analytics tracking into scalable components. The system leverages Apple’s Accessibility APIs and native TTS frameworks to ensure smooth, low-latency speech output. Caregiver controls and usage insights were implemented with structured data models, enabling safe customization and performance stability across devices.
