The Voices feature of this application allows users to select from a variety of voice styles and languages available within their device’s text-to-speech (TTS) engines. Users can opt for offline voices, which do not require internet connectivity, or choose natural-sounding internet-powered voices for a more realistic speech experience. Additionally, the app enables users to save their preferred voice configurations in a list for quick and easy access, making it convenient to switch between different voices tailored for various needs or preferences.
With the Phrases functionality, users can save frequently used expressions and categorize them for easy retrieval. These phrases can be rearranged and color-coded to suit personal preferences, and separate groups can be created for different languages. The app also allows for adding alternate labels to buttons, providing options for customizing button text independently from the spoken content. Furthermore, users can back up their phrases by saving them to a file, facilitating sharing or restoring data if needed, which enhances the app’s versatility.
The Miscellaneous features include a message history that displays all past messages played through the app, enabling users to review their usage. Users can also have the app speak individual words or entire sentences as they are typed, providing immediate auditory feedback. The app offers extensive customization options, allowing users to adjust font size, text field dimensions, and button sizes to suit their preferences. These custom layouts can be saved and reused, and the interface is designed to automatically adapt to various screen sizes, from small mobile devices to larger tablets. Additionally, the app supports both light and dark modes for comfortable usage in different lighting conditions.
This application is designed to assist individuals who need help with speaking, including those with speech or language disorders such as verbal apraxia, aphasia, autism, anxiety, and selective mutism. It’s also useful for anyone who has temporarily lost their voice or simply wants to experiment with text-to-speech features. The developers encourage user feedback to improve accessibility and usability, making the tool more inclusive. Created by an AAC user with selective mutism, the app emphasizes compassion and user-centric design to better support communication needs worldwide.
