Communication Made Simple Talk For Me is designed to give a voice to those without one. Whether you have lost your speech due to ALS, Stroke, or other medical conditions, or simply need a tool to communicate during phone calls, this app bridges the gap. Designed and engineered by a person who lost the ability to speak, this app seeks to make your life easier through genuine understanding of your needs. Now featuring our improved Expressive Speech Engine! Questions finally sound like questions, and exclamations have real energy. KEY FEATURES: • Speech to Call: Seamlessly sends your text-to-speech audio directly into phone calls and FaceTime calls. The other person hears you clearly, just as if you were speaking. • Personal Voice Support: (iOS 17+) Create a digital copy of your own voice and use it within the app for a truly personal connection. • Visual "Karaoke" Tracking: See exactly what is being spoken in real-time. Words are highlighted as they are said—perfect for verifying your message or for users with hearing loss. • Expressive AI: Our improved engine automatically adjusts pitch and speed based on punctuation to sound more human and less robotic. • Customizable Quick Buttons: Store your most common phrases in 6 main buttons, or swipe up to access pages of custom buttons. Long-press any button to assign specific text, titles, and even different voices to them! • Archive Database: Save unlimited phrases or partial sentences. Swipe left to grab a saved sentence instantly—perfect for preparing for doctor's appointments or meetings. ADDITIONAL TOOLS: • Auto-Speech: Optional mode to speak every word as you type it. • No Internet Required: Works completely offline. • Ad-Free: A clean, distraction-free interface. • Dynamic Type: Fully supports iOS large text settings for maximum readability. SUPPORTED LANGUAGES: English (US, UK, AU, IE, ZA), Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Romanian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. A NOTE ON VOICES: This app uses Apple’s Enhanced and Premium voices for the best quality. To ensure you have the best experience, go to your iPhone Settings > Accessibility > Read & Speak > Voices to download high-quality voices.

Great app for MOST - Works on M1 Mac
12/26/2022

PWD-dad
Really useful app, simple clean UI, easy to customize, works on M1 Macs and iPad with intuitive touch interface on iPad and with simple easy mouse integration on both. Speech is clear and the rate is easy to customize. In many ways the app has a very professional feel well suited to anyone from adults to students (perhaps as soon as they can read). I would go five stars except for some minor things about the UI. First, if you can read this is a fantastic UI that feels clean and intelegent but if you can't you may have challenges - I can't find a way to use icons, pictures, or colors. Second, the main screen is what it is - I couldn't add additional custom "sayings" to this screen - HOWEVER, there is an archive feature which is not exactly intuitive but does let you build up and recall what you want to say - worth checking out and taking the time to learn. As I said - the app has a simple clean UI and changing it (beyond maybe the ability to choose different color themes) could ruin its professional feel.If you require colors, symbols, pictures - look elsewhere.

Speech Pathologist recommendation

I often recommend a free or inexpensive communication app for patients of mine who don’t need or can’t afford a more sophisticated device. I stumbled across this one while looking for a text to speech app. Most are the same; you type a message and hit a button to speak it, and you can save a limited number of messages you use frequently. Unfortunately all the messages are saved in the same place, so you have to look through them and select the one you want, which slows the process down. This app has that capability, but it also gives you 34 customizable buttons for frequently used messages. They’re incredibly easy to program and using the app to communicate is quick and intuitive. I’ve used many of these apps and this one is the best by far, and it’s free!

Fantastic for Voice Rest

I had vocal surgery and had to be on 15 days complete voice rest. My husband works nights, and I have two young boys who cannot read. I needed something that would speak for me. This app is amazing and simple. I connect to my Bluetooth speaker to get it louder when out. Love the custom common phrases. People constantly asked me the same questions. The custom phrases allowed me to answer quickly without having to type every time. My two boys even love the app now. So glad this was available.

I use this every single day, all day long. I have a vocal chord disorder called Functional Dysphonia. This is how I communicate with everyone. I can even type to speak on the phone by putting my phone near my ipad to hear the words. I don’t know what I would do with this wonderful app! Thanks so much to the developers! I would love to hear more voices that sound more natural— but still thankful for this way to communicate!

Developer Response
With the latest version on your iPad or iPhone you can make a phone call or a FaceTime audio call and then open the Talk For Me - Text to Speech app and automatically the spoken text will play through to the other caller. You no longer have to use the two devices. Please try it. I have made numerous calls to family, friends and even companies with no problems. I really appreciate your review!

This update contains enhancements and fixes including: • Improved Expressive Speech Engine: We’ve rebuilt our speech engine to intelligently recognize punctuation. Questions sound like questions, and exclamations have real energy! • Improved Visual Tracking: We refined the on-screen text highlighting to follow the spoken voice more smoothly. The user manual and useful tips are always available at MobileTouchTech.com/talkforme-manual.
