About

TypeOut

Type it. Your phone says it out loud. When someone answers, their words come back as big text. Back and forth. That's all it does. Made for people who can't speak. People who have never been able to, people recovering from surgery, people with a sore throat, people who just had their wisdom teeth out โ€” and people who simply don't feel like talking today. โ—† Speak Asking directions, ordering, checking in at a clinic โ€” without having to explain again why you're not speaking. Keep the lines you say often as phrases and tap once to play them. Make the text as large as it goes, then flip it with one tap: the text turns upside down and moves to the lower half of the screen, so the person across the table reads it the right way up. You never hand your phone over. โ—† Listen The moment they speak, it turns into big text. After two seconds of silence it starts a new line, with one sentence in each block, so looking back is easy. Text size and line spacing are yours to set โ€” up to 50% larger. โ—† Notes The speaking and listening screens face outward. The diary faces you. It uses a handwriting font and ruled paper, with a cat leaving a little mark in the corner. It locks itself the moment you leave the page. โ—† A few smaller things ยท Twelve looks to switch between โ€” one of them high contrast, for low vision ยท Phrases you can organize: categories, drag to reorder, batch delete, move, or recolor ยท Pick a photo and it becomes the animal in the corner; the cutout happens on your phone, and the photo never leaves it ยท Switching phones? Export one file: your phrases, the audio already synthesized for them, and every setting you've adjusted โ—† What costs money Your phone's built-in voice is free, unlimited, and works in airplane mode. The more natural-sounding voices are synthesized on a server as you use them and are billed by the character โ€” that is what the membership and top-up packs pay for. When the points run out, the app falls back to your phone's voice, so you can always speak. โ—† Privacy Your phrases, what you've said, and diary stay on your phone; we don't receive them. When you use a cloud voice, the sentence goes to our server and on to the speech provider, and is gone once synthesis finishes โ€” not saved in a database, not written to logs. Something not working, or something you'd like changed? Write to us: support@trytypeout.com. This app is maintained by one person, so a reply may take a day or two. Every message is read. Membership renews automatically at the end of each billing period. You can turn off auto-renewal any time in Settings โ†’ Subscriptions.
