SkyText is the premier text-scrolling application for the iPhone and iPod Touch from Heynow Software.
SkyText allows you to type messages on your touch device and display them instantly as scrolling text on its screen. In real time. All from one screen.
Here's how it works:
1. Hold your iPhone/iPod Touch in portrait orientation and type text on the keyboard, just like text messaging.
2. Raise your hand (the one holding the device) and face the screen toward the person that you want to display the message to, in landscape orientation. SkyText uses the accelerometer to sense the change in orientation and automatically scrolls the message.
That's it. Quick and easy. The way it should be.
When would you use SkyText?
• In a loud, crowded bar
• A hottie is looking at you from a distance and you want to break the ice
• You've become thirsty
• Your buddy is a the end of the bar, and you just need to taunt him
• At a concert
• On the golf course
• At the airport
• At a sporting event
• In the parking lot, picking up your kids after a concert
• At the beach
• In the library
• At the race track
• While hunting or fishing
• Six of you are going skiing, 3 people each in 2 cars. Cell reception is spotty, you need to communicate and don't want to "scream & freeze"
• You're a sound engineer and you need to tell the guitar player to turn down
• You're in church and need to discreetly tell the reverend that his fly is unzipped
• Anywhere you need to communicate with somebody and:
• They are unable to hear you
• You need to get their attention
• You can't get to them
• You can't make a sound but want to get a message across
When would *you* use SkyText?
And, in case you're wondering:
√ Yes, after the message ends there's a brief delay, you get a single vibration, and the message scrolls again.
√ Yes, when you bring your hand back down, SkyText has cleared the text-entry box and the cursor is blinking, ready for you to type your next message.
√ Yes, if you want re-display the last message, it's still available on the screen. Just tap on it to display it again.
√ Yes, you can store messages as preset messages and quickly select them for display with one tap.
√ Yes, you can also edit a preset message quickly and display it, with or without saving the edits to the preset itself!
√ Yes, you can quickly go between hand-typing and preset messages on the same screen.
√ Yes, there are two font/background color combinations for day and night display, quickly accessible on the screen.
√ Yes, we know some people are left-handed. SkyText scrolls the text properly regardless of which way you turn it into landscape. You can even flip your phone upside down once it's scrolling, and watch the fun.
We put a lot of time and effort into SkyText because, frankly, you shouldn't have to.
We're Heynow.
Best App for Communicating with the hearing impaired
This is the best app for quickly communicating with the hearing impaired. You can type the sentence or phrase you want to say and simply tilt the phone in landscape and your message scrolls across the screen. The text is large and easily readable even from a distance. The scroll speed is likewise adjustable. What I found extremely useful and quick is using the dictate button and dictate the phrase or sentence you want to say. Best App ever for the hearing impaired.
Great idea, if it worked!!!!
What a waste of $2 , the app constantly crashes and the presets do not save upon exit!! Dont waste your money!!!! GArbage!
This is the one.
I play guitar in 3 bands and I need this in crowded clubs. I've tried all the other apps like this and this one is by far the best! Finally it's fast to use and you can see it ACROSS THE ROOM. I used it on stage last weekend and the audience finally could read it. The sound engineer downloaded it the minute he saw mine. Make sure you have a protective case though cos the ladies all wanted to play with it;) Excellent job!
Not sure of it's just me?
Great app, love the idea. It's constantly crashing for me though. I can't save a phrase or delete the preset without it crashing. I've tried restarting but to no avail. I'm hoping this wasn't a waste of 1.99........
Awesome!!
All I want is a variety of colors and this app is perfect
Cool!
I like this app!
Dynamite App
I used this app to razz my buddies at the golf course - it was great fun.
It's so easy a Caveman can do it!
Sky Text
I was kind of skeptical when I bought this application because it was $1.99...but I was trying it out and I like it a lot! I can't wait to actually make use of it. If you were trying to get someones attention across the room the letters are definitely big enough!
Very cool
This is a great AP... Very usefull and fun. Works great. A must have.
I Like This App
It's a nicely done app, easy to use. I've already had a lot of fun with it!
