Using smart word prediction technology, the app makes speaking out a text-based message easy. Predictable learns from your pattern of use and predicts what you will type next, making typing easier and more efficient.

Attach these to keyboard keys, hot corners, head tracking gestures or external keyboard shortcuts. The possibilities are endless!

Good App

I’ve got this on work and personal devices and it works really well with my Acapela generated voice. One irritation is I can copy and paste into Predictable on one device but not the other? Both are iPads

Developer Response ,

Hi Andy - thanks for the feedback - we will check out the issue you've reported on your second iPad. Can you drop us a line at support@therapy-box.co.uk

Absolute must for anybody with a speech problem.

I have recently been diagnosed with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) which amongst other things affects my vocal chords. To put it simply I am unable to speak coherently & I found it frequently frustrating to make myself understood. Luckily my Voice therapist told me about this app (Predictable) she said if I contacted The Therapy Box they would most likely give me a free trial. Which I did & they very kindly gave me a 77 day trial through the Test Flight app. It didn’t take me long to realise that I didn’t need 77 days to find out that I neede Predictable in my life. It truly has been a godsend ,to say it has transformed my life now would be an understatement. I now don’t have to worry that I won’t be understood all I have to do now as soon as someone can’t make out a word I have said I just type it in the app & the app utters it aloud. That’s not all you can even choose the gender & even pick the accent of the voice you want to use. It’s an amazing app,I still haven’t scratched the surface with all the app îs capeable of yet. But for me the best part is that you save phrases that you use often in your favourites section so they can be accessed in a jiffy.
Thank you The Therapy Box I doff my hat to you.

I suffered a head injury 🤕 nearly 30 years ago & this has badly affected my speech. Fortunately Predictable was created shortly afterwards by Therapy Box & I have used it since this time.

It is relatively easy to operate & if you get stuck then there is a Team who will always assist you if they can.

With technology improving over the years & if you know you are going to lose your ability to speak well, you can now record your voice to use when you need it.

But one of the pluses for me is that the voice I use is ‘Kate’ & she sounds English. You have the choice of voices, male & female & accents too from most countries & none of them sound like Stephen Hawking’s synthetic voice.

So if you have a speech impairment now or in the future, don’t despair because you will still be able to communicate with people if you have Predictable.

Thanks for your support @SueyJones. It means a lot to us too!
