Audio guide is played when any button is tapped, so this app is accessible to people with dyslexia.

This app has been developed with the cooperation of the NPO "WARAITAIKO", which supports the rehabilitation of people with higher brain dysfunction.


WHY WE DEVELOPED THIS APP:

Today, mobile devices are widely used throughout the world. We can easily send messages to each other.

However, for the elderly and the handicapped, learning to input text using a keyboard is often difficult.

As a result, text-based communication methods are not widely used.

We hope that anyone can send text messages easily by using this app.

## Key features

- Eight preset buttons for sentence generation
- Customizable destination settings
- Daily usage reminder notifications
- Audio guide for dyslexia support
- Developed with NPO cooperation
