Speakprose 3 offers text-to-speech and symbol support using all available access options on iOS - including head tracking, switch, touch, and swipe - and new to this version, we offer direct integration with Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa. Best of all, your phone or tablet are all you need; no additional hardware is required to communicate or independently control home electronics, get news, and so much more! Our easy and affordable app enables hands-free communication across three different predictive keyboards, all personalized as you use them, and independent control of your Alexa-compatible home devices. A WiFi connection is all you need to control your world - if you have a cellular connection, you can have that same control anywhere. • Accessible Everything the app can do is accessible using gaze and head tracking, switch, touch, or swipe. The Apple TrueDepth camera and our patented eye-tracking technology allow you to speak using eye, head, and nose movements and make selections with your blink, your smile, or dwell- and unlike some expensive eye-tracking systems, it works beautifully outdoors in bright sunlight. • Head and Facial Tracking Requirements Head and gaze tracking on devices with a TrueDepth camera with no calibration required (iPhone X, 11, 12, 13, iPad Pro 4th gen+) • Direct Selection, Touch, and Switch Requirements Works on all iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch models • Affordable Speakprose 3 is the most affordable communication system that offers hands-free communication and direct integration with smart-home devices and environmental controls - and the first of any kind to directly integrate Alexa. Speakprose 3 is available with 3 easy payment options, no surprises: • Low monthly subscription of $9.99 • Discounted yearly subscription of $99.99 • Unlimited one-time purchase of $149.99 • Personalized From choosing your own natural-sounding voice by customizing your voice to personalizing words and phrases in the app, to advanced adjustments for gaze tracking control - this software isn’t ours, it’s yours. • Say whatever you want, whenever you want - fast! Speed up communication and be more productive with Alexa by saving your favorite phrases within the predictive keyboard. • Independence Speakprose 3 provides direct in-app integration with smart-home devices, eliminating the need for separate hardware. Now you don’t need to awkwardly have your device speak out loud to access timely news, weather, stories, educational facts, and even the occasional cheesy joke. • Environmental Control You can also control compatible smart home devices - turn lights on and off, adjust the speed of a fan, control your TV, play music on a WiFi-connected speaker, raise or lower a bed, and anything else Alexa-compatible. Setting up your smart home with environmental controls has never been simpler or more affordable - you don’t need an Alexa hub because Speakprose IS an Alexa hub. Everything about Speakprose 3 is designed to increase the speed of someone’s ability to communicate and connect with their world.

The app needs to be updated. ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2024-11-26, version 3.0.5* This app obviously cares about money over people’s satisfaction beacuse what if someone needed to communicate with people which is kinda a basic necessity but didn’t have the money ### 1/5 — I just tried my speakprose account *2024-09-26* and paid 9.99 a month but as I started it says my email is already in so I tried logging in but as I reset my password I can't get an email so what now? ### 1/5 — Impossible eye tracking *2024-07-09, version 3.0.5* Subscribed for the eye tracking but it was impossible to use. It was like the expectation of the eye was to be looking at the camera as the centre point rather than the centre of the screen. Disappointed doesn’t cover it ### 5/5 — Robust and easy to use *2022-05-13* This app surprised me - I hadn’t heard of it until recently but it’s a better value than anything else I’ve found, and my husband loves the voice it has for him. Recommended, especially if you also want home control ### 5/5 — It’s so easy *2020-04-03* The sentence builder and academy chat simulator is really unique. I was surprised to see how easy it was to start using right away. And can see using the predictive keyboards soon. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-02-27* I thought this had a free trial- it does IF you sign up for a plan. I need to know if my son can use it BEFORE I sign on the dotted line and pass out my CC information. I was so hopeful... **Developer response:** To unlock Pro+ with face and eye tracking, simply press the upgrade button in the app. It will begin a free 30-day trial. If you need to cancel before the 30-day trial expires, you can change your subscription in the device settings. Email us and we are happy to help you get started. ### 5/5 — Speech Therapist Reccomended *2019-08-28* A good platform, great tech support, and the company is very easy to communicate with. I look forward to using this with patients in a variety of settings! ### 5/5 — Wow! It worked for my daughter. *2019-06-22* We tried other expensive AAC apps for my daughter and none of them worked until this app. She likes using the hand gestures to quickly access her favorite comments and successfully used the eye tracking to control the app to build sentences to speak. We are so thrilled!! **Developer response:** We are thrilled for her, as well!! ### 3/5 — Seems promising, but... *2019-05-25* The app seems really promising, but I’m not willing to pay money before I can try out the gestures to see if my nonverbal sister would be able to get any use of it. A free trial of the full features, even a short one, would have helped. **Developer response:** Hi @Mindyleeify, we just released a free trial version for the Pro+ upgrade. Try it out. Thanks for the suggestion. ## Frequently asked questions about Speakprose 3 ### What is Speakprose 3? Speakprose 3 is an app designed for hands-free communication and smart home control.
