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!

Just needs a few enhancements
My son with CP loves using iMean to communicate. He loves having a voice and on a device that can do so much. But, there are a few annoyances in iMean.
First is the small space bar. He often hits Z or Y when atempting to use space. It would be great if that were just slightly larger.
Second is that there is no indicator on the sentence display that a space was successfully registered. An underline or centered dot would show that space was hit.
Third, there are no space, backspace, or clear buttons on the numeric keypad. My son uses iMean for his math homework and has to constantly switch to the alpha pad for those functions.
And last, it would be nice to be able to disable the phrases interface. We never use it, but frequently end up in it accidentally.
We love iMean and will continue to use it for as long as it is supported.

Great value and performance!
I am an AAC specialist and use this app in my clinic. Keyguards are now available for it via www.laseredpics.biz. They are very reasonably priced and service is prompt! I'd love to see color options available in an update, if possible.
