Speech Assistant AAC

This is an astonishing find: a powerful, practical and intuitive AAC program that works across every device I own (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and MacBook). I have recently started using AAC (one of the big, expensive programs) on my iPad, and was driven by frustration to look for an iPhone-based quick talker for producing a few vital phrases on the move (you try wielding a heavy iPad while in a wheelchair in a crowded Tube train). Instead I found this: a full-scale AAC program that is intelligently adapted for a variety of devices and which is awash with innovations of the “why did no one else think of that?” variety. I’ve only been using this for a day so far, but doubt I am exaggerating when I say this program promises to be life-changing.

I’m a multi-modal communicator and this app is so useful. I have the paid version and can order, colour add photos and programme new phrases. I am so grateful for it

I’ve been mute for 9 out of the last 12 months. Tried all sorts of apps. Most for less than 5 minutes. It is so hard to find an app for people who are still full able and want to communicate articulate conversation. I had become recluse and had to run two apps on a split screen. This is simply the best app ever at a great price. Very feature rich and designed by a team who understand the practical difficulties. There is no app which will work 100% out of the box for anyone, as individual needs differ too greatly. But this app has it structure to adapt to whatever you want. In less that 30 minutes I was able to call my Son and type my conversation to him. It was so liberating it brought me to tears. I HIGHLY recommend this app to anyone described above. I shall be contacting Ton and his team with some suggestions for minor tweaks, but I can only conclude by saying “Ton & your team, you are angels. Thank you so much”. Hope this helps others.

This application is wonderful. The design of the screens, the effort put the development of the program are first class. I have lost my speech. I could not talk to people. I was at a loss. That has changed. I can communicate. I have a first screen in which tells the person my predicament. From then on I can speak to them. My thanks for putting in so much effort and time. First class. It gets full marks for me.

Ive only just started to test this, prior to letting it lose on my mother in law. My intention is to use it with a real usb keyboard as she can manage typing on one far easier then she can the screen keyboard and it’s an interface she understands. As such it would be really great if when typing begins it selected the text are ( rather than having to select that first, it will be really hard to teach her to tap it first ) and have return do a new line ( ideally speaking the line just finished ) rather than deselecting the box ( and her having to press the audio button ). If it were possible to type some of the key buttons ( speak/clear and maybe common/history etc ) to function ( or other unused keys ) then it would be much easier for her to use ( and I could build a custom keyboard )

I work for a nonprofit that supports people with ALS,and I help with communication support. I have recommended this app to hundreds. It's intuitive and feature rich. And I'm constantly delighted with new functionality, clearly incorporating user feedback. THANK YOU!!

I love this app! It works so well for me. I have Parkinson’s and it’s really messed with my speech. I also live with people who are hard of hearing. This app is easy to access and use. It helps me to get my message out.

This is great app! It can be customized to suit yourself and is very powerful.

This is a great app and really easy to use! The only thing that would make it better is if the user could also hear the audio output during phone calls. It’s strange to not be able to hear your own side of the conversation during a phone call.
