This update contains a couple of minor UI changes in response to your feedback on version 9.3: • Text is left-aligned in the input text field again. • High contrast mode setting added (can be enabled in the settings screen) to make the background of the input text field darker for easier reading. • Recording feature fixed on iPad devices. Thanks for your prompt feedback on the previous update, and apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi there! This update has a number of bug fixes and small improvements. Background Audio • Speak will continue speaking your sentences when you close it or lock your device. UI Improvements • Support for the new iPhone X display size. • The volume bar in the settings screen no longer extends off the screen. • Your phrases in the Favourites and History views now expand to show the entire phrase. • Disappearing parts of the interface don't do that anymore. New Settings • Insert a new line (rather than speak) when return key is pressed. • Save/restore repeat count between launches. Bug Fixes • The 'Clear on Speak' setting no longer dismisses the keyboard when the speak/return button is pressed. • Screen recorder has been fixed. If you find Speak useful or fun please take a moment to give it a quick review — I'd really appreciate it!

This update is primarily a bug-fixing one, and I know a number of you will be very pleased to hear that: • The Recording feature is back — and this time it works, even on iPad! A couple of other bug fixes: • Speak no longer crashes when being launched on iOS 8 (sorry about that!). • The text input cell no longer disappears when scrolling down and back up again. • You can now see your app version number at the bottom of the settings screen — this information is included in any feedback emails you send me through the app to help with diagnosing any future issues. Thanks to everyone who reported bugs to me! Keep your eyes peeled for a big update coming in September with a number of improvements!

Optimised for iOS 10.3.2 and the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro device. Minor Bug Fixes • Voice not saving between launches. • Issues with the information going offscreen when the keyboard is shown/hidden. Thanks to everyone who has been submitting bug reports to me over the last few months — it really is invaluable to me. There are a couple of other bugs that are already known to me including: • Input text field sometimes disappears. • Recording feature has been temporarily disabled while some groundwork is carried out on it. Please bear with me over the next couple of months while I fix these, and keep your eyes peeled for a big update around September!

Recording & Exporting • Speak now features a record button/feature that allows you to record what you do in the app and, importantly, the speech audio output. • The recordings can be exported to Camera Roll, or shared. Repeat • Choose how many times you would like your phrase to be repeated. Bug Fixes & Enhancements • Bug fixes (in particular for iPads using the Favourites and History features). • Optimised for iOS 10.2.

Favourite Phrases & Phrase History • Speak now features ‘favourite’ phrases — simply hold the favourites button (the one with the star on) to add a new phrase. • Speak also features phrase history which store all the phrases that have been spoken. Redesigned Voice Picker • The Voice Picker is now presented in a beautiful, fullscreen view with a blur effect for extra awesomeness. • Each voice has a sample button so you can quickly hear what each one sounds like. • Voices are now named, making it easier to distinguish the gender of each one. I strongly recommend that you upgrade to at least iOS 9 as voices are handled more elegantly. Bunch of New Settings • Save the text in the input field when the app closes, and load it again when it reopens. Similar settings to save the pitch, rate and voice. • Stop speaking if the Clear button is pressed mid-sentence. • Clear the input text once Speak is pressed. • Volume slider. General UI Enhancements • Larger buttons that look nicer and are easier to press. • Text in the app now respects the user’s Text Size preference. To adjust this, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size. • Minor tweaks throughout. Performance & Optimisations • Optimised for iOS 10. • Updated to run on all those shiny new iPhone 7/iPhone 7 Plus devices. • Squashed those pesky bugs which resulted in poor performance in the Voice Picker. It is with a hint of sadness that Speak bids farewell to iOS 7 in this update. I hope you enjoy the update, and, as ever, if you have any comments/suggestions, feel free to drop me an email: loic@loicverrall.co.uk

Speak has been completely rewritten from the ground up and boasts a modern, sleek user interface. Pressing the return key now speaks the input (previously this would dismiss the keyboard) - thanks for the suggestion, Julian! - iPad Pro support. - Under-the-hood improvements. - Optimised for the latest iOS version. - Supports iOS 7 onwards (previously only supported iOS 8 onwards).

Apple Watch Support! - The Phrases screen contains 6 phrases (these can be edited in the Apple Watch App on your iOS device). Just tap a phrase to say it! The Speak app on the iPhone doesn't even have to be open for this sorcery to work! - Swipe to the Settings screen to adjust voice settings. These include Rate, Pitch, your iOS device volume and the accent with which the phrase is spoken. If you need to reset these settings, just Force Touch! General Improvements & Bug Fixes - Default language is now selected depending on your region. - Accents are ordered alphabetically making it easier to find the one you're looking for. - Voice settings (Pitch, Rate and Accent) are now saved when you close the app and loaded when you next open it. The settings also live sync across your iOS device and Apple Watch! - More streamlined interface (slightly smaller input text box which dismisses the keyboard if you drag down or hit the return key). The accent picker is now collapsable too. - Rather than stopping music when speaking, the app now ducks the volume of other sources (e.g. Music) and talks over them. I hope you enjoy the update! As always, feel free to drop me an email with any suggestions or comments: loic@loicverrall.co.uk Quick joke: Q: How do you count cows? A: With a cowculator.
