urVoice AAC – Text to speech with type and talk!

I'm autistic and sometimes can't speak, I have been nonverbal for a little less than a week straight right now and have used this app to communicate with my family and a few others. I am using the free version right now and love it. The voice is not the best but it works, and being able to program the buttons has been HUGE for me. I can only do three with the free version, I have yes, no, and ok. I have tried some apps I prefer on my phone but I definitely prefer to type on my iPad and this is the best app I found that supports 9.3.5. Once I get some money I will look into the not free version if I decide that this is still the best app for me. I'm planing on looking into some other free options with more buttons and see how I like that. I love this app, I would like more buttons and a better voice but other than that it's pretty perfect

Ad covers the text box

There is a banner ad across the top that covers where you type. Closing the ad still leaves the banner space saying that Google closed the ad. Then another ad comes up. Really bad design. Deleting app now.

Remove the ad at the top because it prevents me from seeing what I’m typing

I can also add I want to go let’s eat all done let’s do something I need a break phrases and more

This app is perfect for speaking impaired persons. Best of anything I have used in the App Store and I have tried all of them. Thanks guys. Love you all you make my life easier,

For the money, it's a great app. This is a simple to use app with an easy interface that does what it says it will do. It provides a very good means of type-to-speech that is coherent and fairly natural sounding. The voices are not perfect, but way, way, better than most that I've sampled. I like that you can adjust speed and pitch of the voices which gives you even more flexibility. You will never fool anyone that this a real person speaking, but it's pretty convincing for the applications most people will use it for. Some others have suggested improvements which I agree with, and perhaps they will make those improvements. I bought the upgraded full version to use during a severe laryngitis period and was able to actually have fun conversing during dinners with my wife while not straining my voice! I saved several stock phrases like, "Oh really, tell me more." and "What happened next?" which I could just click on to keep the conversation going. All in all, I give it a great rating, and hope they upgrade it soon. Money well-spent!

I’d like to see a way to listen to a recording starting at a spot other than the beginning. Sometimes you just want to check a correction you’ve made and don’t need or want to hear the whole recording. Other than that, it works very well.

I have chronic laryngitis and use this app almost daily. I use it with a blue tooth speaker to make the volume loud enough for my hard-of-hearing husband to understand. The voices can be customized in settings to meet your needs.

I like this app. I can't talk at times do to severe TMJ pain and severe anxiety. I like that it talks slowly and clearly and if you're using a period at the end of a sentence it stops then continues on. It also expresses how I'm feeling when using an exclamation point, ect...What I don't like is the advertisements at the top of the app while using it and you have to pay if you want to use more then what's offered for free. But otherwise I like it and will continue to use this app.
