Editor's Overview

LibreAAC is a text to speech application developed by Luke Howson, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.1 weighing in at 357.35 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 357.35 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Luke Howson" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

LibreAAC is a free, ad-free augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) app for Android tablets. It works offline and keeps communication boards and preferences on the device.

Select words or symbols to speak them and build a phrase. Move between linked boards, return home, or speak the complete phrase when it is ready. Speech uses the voices installed on the device.

Features include:


  • OBF and OBZ Open Board Format support

  • bundled communication boards for getting started

  • words, images, sounds, and linked boards

  • phrase building and complete-phrase speech

  • configurable labels, board fitting, speech, and scanning

  • guarded management and editing controls

  • local import, editing, export, and backup



LibreAAC has no advertising, analytics, telemetry, accounts, or application server. The Android app declares no internet permission. Files are accessed only through Android's system file picker when the user chooses to open or save them.

The application is GPL-3.0-only free software. Bundled communication boards are independent works documented under CC BY 4.0. CommuniKate boards remain available separately from the public openboards collection under their recorded non-commercial licences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LibreAAC free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does LibreAAC require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is LibreAAC safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Luke Howson. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update LibreAAC?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
