What's New in Talk For Me

3.2

June 20, 2026

Version 3.2 is here! We've polished the app and added some great functionality. A Fresh New Look: • You'll notice Talk For Me has a brand new icon on your home screen! We updated our design to perfectly match the premium, highly polished iOS experience you'll find inside the app—including a splash of new color to celebrate your newly customizable speech buttons. Copy/Paste Your Custom Buttons: • You can now copy the contents of any custom button and paste it across any of the five custom button pages. It's your app—set up your communication board exactly how you wish! Improved Custom Button Pages: • No matter which device you are using, from a compact iPhone to a large iPad Pro, your custom buttons are now always large and easily accessible. Just scroll down to reveal rows six and seven. Refined Speech Controls: • We've upgraded the Pause and Continue Play buttons with refined symbols to match the rest of the app. On the main page, when you pause the speech, a Cancel button now appears right above the Pause button. No more vagueness—you can quickly Cancel to type your next phrase, or press Continue Play to finish speaking. Natural Speech Cadence: • The voice engine now intelligently processes ellipses (...), automatically inserting a natural, human-like pause to make complex or casual sentences sound incredibly normalized and lifelike. Under-the-Hood Polish: • We've further enhanced our VoiceOver accessibility labels and functionality so the app works better for users utilizing screen readers. • We added a satisfying subtle "bounce" to all buttons in the app. • We added a keyboard command for power users to do a Privacy Wipe of the main text window with one press (Cmd + K). • Fixed a bug that made the language selector hard to read when in dark mode.

So disappointing!!

Great layout, with all the potential. But, go to the voice selector and no option can be used! Even if they are already installed on my phone!

Response from developer

Please email me for assistance at support@talkfor.me I want to understand the issue you are having and find a solution.

I gave it 5 stars on Mac 3 years ago…

Everything looks OK but at some point it lost the ability to speak on Mac. I have not evaluated the ability to do set up on the Mac and then backup and get that to an iPhone or iPad (and yes I know it is not certified for Mac but this is still kind of sad). There are other apps for Mac but this was at one time a great option for people like my son.

Excellent for autistics

I’m autistic and sometimes can’t speak. This app is simpler and easier to use than symbol based alternatives. This is my favorite speech app by far.

I had great hopes…

I absolutely despise apps that don’t have tutorials or instructions. so uninstalled it is

App crashes

The app often crashes when I press the button to let it talk. They should fix whatever causes it.
