About Tobii Dynavox
We are a global team that works to help people with communication and mobility challenges live richer, more meaningful lives.
Power to be You
Our technology benefits those who use it and the people around them – parents, siblings, grandparents, caregivers, teachers and clinicians as well as others they encounter in everyday life. We empower people with complex communication and mobility needs to decide what to say and do on their own terms.
Solutions for a better life
We ensure that our technology and solutions for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) are easy to use and can withstand daily stresses. Whether you need an assistive communication device, a communication app, eye gaze control of your computer, low tech materials or specialized training solutions, we strive to develop top quality, effective products.
Tobii Dynavox history
It began with two assistive technology pioneers: Sweden-based Tobii Technology and U.S.-based DynaVox. In 2014, the companies merged to give a voice to people with disabilities worldwide.

Better Together
Partners in empowerment
Tobii Technology’s May 2014 acquisition of DynaVox merged two companies dedicated to raising the quality of life for people with communication and mobility challenges. While Tobii had become the leading provider of eye tracking solutions for communication and computer access for individuals with ALS, Rett syndrome, spinal cord injury and cerebral palsy, DynaVox was the premier source for AAC solutions for speech, language and learning challenges related to autism, aphasia, cerebral palsy and other neurological disorders.
A global force
The union of the two companies gave the new entity an even stronger geographic presence in existing and emerging markets around the globe.
Today Tobii Dynavox has a presence in over 65 countries via a network of direct and partner sales, with offices in Sweden, the US, Norway, Germany, France, the UK, Ireland, China, and Japan. Through its 1000+ employees and a global network of partners, the company reaches thousands of people, empowering them to more fully engage in life via technology.
A growing family
Tobii Dynavox seeks to acquire companies who share its vision of a world where all people can communicate, and its commitment to empowering people with disabilities to do what they once did, or never thought possible. These include:
Acapela
Acquired: April 2022
A Belgium-based global provider of speech synthesis and digital voices, Acapela has partnered with Tobii Dynavox for many years to give people with disabilities the power to represent themselves authentically. Together, the brands will continue to further the Tobii Dynavox mission by creating even more opportunities for the personalization of communication technology.
Safe Care Technologies
Acquired: April 2022
An Ireland-based supplier of assistive technology products, Safe Care was Tobii Dynavox’s reselling partner for many years. The acquisition has enhanced service and training for our customers in Ireland by streamlining education and feedback processes.
ASK
Acquired: July 2022
A Denmark-based supplier of assistive technology products and services, ASK was Tobii Dynavox’s former reselling partner. The acquisition will help support our customers in Denmark more efficiently and effectively.
Rehadapt

Germany-based Rehadapt is a global provider of medically certified mounting solutions for assistive technology, and a successful Tobii Dynavox partner of many years. Joining forces enables us to accelerate innovation and facilitate the process of creating solutions for comfortable access to communication aids. Rehadapt is an important hub, extending Tobii Dynavox’s global reach.
Link Assistive
Acquired: October 2024
Australia-based Link Assistive has been our reselling partner in Australia and New Zealand for the past decade. Our collaboration during that time has been very successful, and as this market is a strong one for assistive communication, we are now well positioned to realize better market potential across the region and empower more people to get a voice.
Cenomy
Acquired: June 2025
France-based supplier of assistive communication solutions and services, Cenomy has been our reselling partner for a number of years. The majority of Cenomy’s revenues have been comprised of Tobii Dynavox solutions during that time, a testament to our commitment to growth in the French market. We look forward to leveraging Cenomy’s expertise and reach to better serve our French customers.
RehaMedia
Acquired: June 2025
Germany-based RehaMedia has been a key player in assistive communication across Germany since 1994 and a valued and reliable partner for many years.
