About

Trachytalk

Read full description

Trachytalk is designed to help patients with a tracheostomy to communicate (or anyone who can't speak but can use a mobile device). I decided to build this because my mother is in critical care. Most mobile devices can do this natively one way or another, but I've noticed that patients in this state don't have the visual acuity or dexterity to see the type or work the keyboard on a small screen. Other apps on the App Store are geared toward patients who are neurologically non-verbal, and feature symbols or common words. These are great but don't allow a normally verbal patient to communicate to the best of their ability. Trachytalk instead features an almost full screen keyboard with big letters and easily lets the patient review their phrase (and remove any unwanted words) before speaking it. Trachytalk is free and always will be. Help your patients express their needs while they can't talk.

We provide easy support for communication for people who have difficulty expressing themselves. β–  Fixed phrase panel Pre-register frequently used words such as "Thank you" and "Give me some water."
