Speech EZ
Text to speech communication
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
This app was made to help kids (or anyone) who has trouble speaking to have an easy way to communicate. We have a son who is severely speech delayed, in speech therapy, and we wanted to make a way for him to simply tap to tell us what he's thinking, and what he needs or wants. Excited to share it in case it can help others as well.
NEW in 2.0:
• Sentence Builder — Tap multiple tiles to build phrases like "I want milk" or "Mom and Dad." Because "cookie" is communication, but "I want cookie PLEASE" is poetry.
• Voice customization — Pick any voice on your device, adjust speed and pitch, and on iOS 17+ use Personal Voice so words come out in Mom's actual voice. Slightly weird, deeply useful.
• Share your setup — Export your tiles and photos to send to grandparents, babysitters, or speech therapists — anyone who keeps asking "wait, what does that one mean?"
• Photo cropping — Pinch and re-crop tile photos any time. Nobody's first shot of Grandma is ever the right one.
Features:
• One-tap text-to-speech for any word or phrase
• Ready-to-go vocabulary in 5 categories: People, Food & Drink, Commands, Activities, Colors
• Sentence builder for stringing tiles into full thoughts
• Personalize with your own photos, titles, and tile order
• Add custom tiles for the things your kid actually cares about (we see you, "tortoise")
• Share entire tile setups with one tap
• Pick your voice, speed, and pitch — including iOS Personal Voice
• 100% on-device — no internet needed, no data leaves your phone
