Check a Communication Card for What Staff Can Actually Use — Free
Write your card and the checker tests it for the four things staff need — the request, plain wording, a non-verbal route, and what to do next — so the gap is found before someone is holding it at a counter.
What this replaces
Communication cards usually state the need and stop, leaving staff to work out the response. This checks for plain wording, a non-verbal route for when speech is not possible, and an explicit next step, so the card works at a counter rather than only in principle.
Tool note. This runs entirely in your browser — no account, no upload, no paid API key. Google NotebookLM is named as the free source-grounded reading path for the material you paste; its published free-tier terms were checked on 2026-09-13 and can change.
The four passes
Collect the smallest useful input
One element per line: the need, the plain wording, the gesture, and the response.
Let the checker test all four
Missing fields go to the top of the urgency lane.
Write the response line yourself
That is the field staff actually act on.
Test it with one person
A card that reads well to you may not read well at a busy desk.

Everything you paste stays in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and no request leaves the page to generate the result; clearing site data removes anything saved locally.
What breaks, and what to do
Cards written as one paragraph
Split them onto lines; the check is line by line.
Symbols or images used instead of words
The checker reads text; add a text line alongside.
Different needs on one card
Check one need at a time.
