## Talk For Me Description
Your voice deserves to be heard clearly and effortlessly. Built from the ground up by a developer who lost the ability to speak, Talk For Me is engineered with a deep, personal understanding of what truly matters when connecting with others. Whether you are navigating a health issue or simply need a daily tool to assist with communication, Talk For Me bridges the gap.

## Talk For Me Reviews in United States

### **--- "I had great hopes…"
I absolutely despise apps that don’t have tutorials or instructions. so uninstalled it is
-- lduvall62, 2024-01-31

### *---- "App crashes"
The app often crashes when I press the button to let it talk. They should fix whatever causes it.
-- Jerard_7, 2023-11-05

### ***** "Thank you so much"
After gaining a moderate speech impediment from oral cancer I needed something to help me communicate. Particularly while speaking on the phone which was a nightmare. This app is a godsend. And it's free. It's not ad-supported, it's completely free. Thank you!
-- Butch2_0, 2023-04-23

### *---- "I'm sorry, but it's really bad."
I really don't like to rate apps badly, but this one is really rough.  I'd keep looking.
-- really_really_confused, 2023-01-27

### ****- "Great app for MOST - Works on M1 Mac"
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.
-- PWD-dad, 2022-12-26

### ***** "God-Send for Vocal Chord Disorders"
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!
-- Steve & Shelley, 2022-05-30

### ***** "Good, but how exactly do you archive a sentence??"
I got Talk for Me today and like it so far, but I can’t figure out how to archive a sentence. I am wondering how to archive a conversation. 11/23/21-I figured out how to archive a sentence. I really like Talk for Me. Thank you for making it. I saw that there’s a new update and I’m curious about how you’d use the update.
-- Nellow123, 2021-11-23

### *---- "Invisible text"
I really like the app except I can’t see the text I am typing. Maybe it is in some kind of white font?  But I don’t see any way to change it. :(
-- bbeckd, 2021-08-24

### **--- "Doesn't play as background app"
Not useful if I'm required to have my phone open and this app open to hear the text read. Needs to function while in the background.
-- ffass, 2021-05-29

### *---- "No audio after only a week"
App stopped using audio after a week.  I have been unable to find any settings or support for this app.  Looks like it could have been a good app but there’s a complete lack of support.  I will have to find another app to use since I can not find a solution for this issue.  None of the other apps on my brand new iPhone are having this issue please add some info on your app at least for FAQs
