1.11.1

December 3, 2021

Version 1.11 enabled the ability to use the app during phone calls. Instead of playing the audio through your iPhone speakers, when on a call it will automatically play through to the other person's phone. Version 1.11.1 now adds a visual representation showing the text as it is spoken. The text is highlighted as it is spoken which is useful when on a phone call and for people who are deaf or have hearing loss. It also includes some minor bug fixes and enhancements. If you ever need assistance, email me at darrin@MobileTouchTech.com or visit the Contact page at MobileTouchTech.com. A heartfelt thank you goes out to Cara Quinn who took the time to email me and alert me to the method allowing for use during phone calls.

Reviews of Talk For Me

  • 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!
  • 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.
  • 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.
