User reviews

Native iOS “live speech” feature is more functional

I used this app extensively and all “premium” functionality became paywalled. What little functionality was there is already less functional than the stock iOS live speech functionality.

Absolute gem

Had a very stressful nonstop screaming week and strained my neck muscles so was given instructions to not talk for atleast 3 days and this app makes it feel like I never stopped love it!

Gets worse

I can’t talk right now because of medical reasons, so it causes me pain to do so. This app was great at first when I could save phrases that I commonly needed help with from the people around me. But then it wanted me to pay for it and pops up everytime I open the app witch’s makes me slower to reply. I would recommend something better that doesn’t shove adds in your face if you are using it for a reason that I am.

Life saving

I love this app so much. It’s the best most accessible and free AAC app I have found and I use it often. I like that it’s customizable and you can save your own phrases. If I had to add something to it I would add folders to store separate saved phrases. But this app is awesome !!!

Pretty good for someone with little communication skills.

I’m young but I have barely any communication skills. This app is good for people who can’t communicate what they want or need in the moment. I’m taking a star off because I feel like it could be better, but it’s pretty decent.
