Speech! iMean now comes with one male and one female voice! Touch the gray area to start speaking. Highlight a section in edit view to have iMean speak that text. Speech has been our most-requested feature and we are proud to offer it as a free upgrade to our existing customers!

December 22, 2010

Now set so that iMean will not erase what has previously been spelled even if the app is completely turned off in task manager. To erase what has been spelled the user must now select it and erase it manually, but that is better than losing the spelling history without meaning to! We are working on a file manager for the next release which will enable the user to keep different documents created in iMean. Meanwhile iMean will keep everything that is spelled until it is manually erased. Meanwhile, to preserve what has been spelled please select and email it to yourself on a regular basis! Thank you!

Price History of iMean

Description of iMean

iMean turns iPad and now iPhone into a letterboard with large easy-to-read keys and word suggestions. I developed it to help my autistic son communicate and formulate his thoughts and for us it has been a huge success (he was 15 when we launched this app and he is now in college). Richie Meade-Miller did the programming. My son enjoys the word suggestions not just for speed but because they make him read. Our customers include many typers living with nonspeaking autism, as well as people with stroke. We have found iPad makes it easy to switch into this app from reading or watching a video so we can discuss what we are studying and then switch back again. Unlike icon-based systems this app is dedicated to text and the subtleties of expression and immense developmental potential that using text and formulating abstract thoughts offers many people on the autistic spectrum. The app saves what's been spelled and features large YES and NO buttons in the main view. iMean's word prediction offers up to three possible word suggestions as the user is typing. These can be selected with one tap of the finger. This speeds communication and also fosters visual scanning and reading as the user looks at the words and considers whether they are what she or he is trying to spell. There are four views, a large keyboard in alphabetical order, a full-screen qwerty keyboard, a numeric view for entering numbers and an editing view that makes use of the standard iPad QWERTY keyboard as well as the Apple-built edit, select and copy functions which can be used to transfer the text to other applications such as word processing and mail. iMean has the ability to speak the text that is entered.

Reviews of iMean

  • Fantastic App for Nonspeakers!

    This app makes your phone a communication device that speaks your words! You can use it in ABC or QWERTY mode and it has a screen for doing math problems. You can also save everything you type and export it to a computer. This simple app was created by a nonspeaking typer and his family and made available to our community for the unbelievable price of $5. You can also get it for your iPad. It’s all you need to set you free!
  • Ms

    This app is great! My husband had a stroke that affected his speech and he isn't able to talk. Being able to type words on his iPad is wonderful and he doesn't feel so helpless! Thanks so much!!
  • Mr.

    For people who have no verbal abilities but who are literate and who also may use Facilitated Communication, this app is truly a gift. It opens up so many options for 'speaking' in day to day situations. It's easy to use! Being able to use this app on the very portable iPad is a huge advantage over the older & more cumbersome pieces of technology. A thousand Thanks to whoever developed this app for the iPad!
