iMyVoice turns an iPhone, iPad or Mac into a voice for people who cannot rely on speech — children with autism or apraxia, adults recovering from a stroke, anyone whose words do not come easily. Build a communication board, tap a cell, and the app speaks. OVER 12,000 BUILT-IN SYMBOLS Find a symbol by typing a word in the app's language. When the built-in symbol is not the right one, use your own photo or a video from your library. iMyVoice is available in English, Hebrew, Russian and Romanian. BOARDS THAT FIT THE PERSON Pick a layout, from one large cell up to a 5×5 page. Set the background colour, border colour and width, text size and weight for each cell, with the text above or below the picture. Link cells to other pages, to a video or to YouTube, so the vocabulary grows with its user. VISUAL SCENES Use a real photograph — a kitchen, a classroom, a family picture — and place hotspots directly on it. For many people, pointing at a scene they recognise is far easier than navigating a grid of symbols. REAL VOICES, NOT JUST SYNTHETIC ONES Speak with the system voices at whatever rate suits the user, or record a human voice for any cell — a parent's voice, a sibling's, the user's own from before. Each tap speaks the word and adds it to the sentence bar. FOR FAMILIES, THERAPISTS AND CLASSROOMS With a subscription, separate profiles keep each user's boards apart. Boards and users share by AirDrop, so what you build at a clinic arrives at home intact. ACCESSIBLE The board, the sentence bar and the symbol pickers work with VoiceOver, and animations respect Reduce Motion. WHO USES IT Families, speech and language therapists, special education teachers, and rehabilitation clinics working with autism, apraxia of speech, aphasia, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, stroke and traumatic brain injury.
