ModelTalker utility app allows you to download and install your personal ModelTalker synthetic voice as an iOS system voice. Compatible with both iPhone and iPad, the app provides limited direct text to speech so you can enter phrases, sentences, or even whole paragraphs and have them spoken aloud in your own voice created with our online Voice Banking Service. Moreover, because your voice is installed as an iOS system voice, you can select your ModelTalker voice as the default system voice, and select it as you voice in AAC apps such as Predictable, Grid, Speech Assistant, TD Talk, and many others! To get started after the app is installed, tap the Voice bar at the top of the page. In the Voices page, tap Add in the upper right and log in with your ModelTalker username and password. After your voice finished downloading, tap the bar containing your name to select it then use the Back button to return to the main screen where you can enter text and have it spoken in your voice.

Type a sentence. Your phone says it out loud. Text to Talk is for the days your voice is gone. Laryngitis, strep, surgery, vocal rest, or anything else that makes talking hurt. You type, it speaks, and you get to stay in the conversation. QUICK PHRASES The things you say twenty times a day are one tap away. Yes. No. One second. Water please. Can you come here? Add your own for whatever you find yourself repeating. HISTORY THAT REMEMBERS Every sentence you type is saved, grouped by day, and searchable. Tap any line to say it again. You should never have to type the same sentence twice. VOICES WORTH LISTENING TO iOS ships with basic voices and hides the good ones behind a settings menu most people never open. Text to Talk ranks them, picks the best one on your device, and shows you how to download a better one. There is also an optional natural voice that runs entirely on your phone. IT WORKS WHEN YOU NEED IT It speaks even with the ringer switched off, which matters when you are holding a muted phone and nothing comes out. It works on a plane. There is no account, no subscription, and no ads. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No servers, no analytics, no tracking. What you type stays on your device. The source code is public.
