Speak vs Emergency Chat

Speak turns your words into clear, natural speech. Many of Speak's users have lost their ability to speak, often after surgery, and Speak helps give them a voice again. It's also great for practising pronunciation, or just having fun with voices. Features • Lots of voices: Choose from every voice installed on your device, including Enhanced, Premium and Personal Voice. Search by language, name or region, and preview any voice with one tap. • Fine-tune the sound: Adjust volume, pitch and rate, and repeat a phrase as many times as you need. • Favourites: Save the phrases you use most and reorder them however you like. • History: Every phrase you speak is saved, so you can speak it again or share it. You can also export your history as a CSV file. • Share audio recordings: Turn any phrase into an audio file and share it anywhere. • Make it yours: Light or Dark appearance, a high-contrast text field, and options for how Speak behaves when you type, speak and clear. • Picks up where you left off: Optionally restore your text, voice, pitch, rate and repeat count when you open the app. • Keeps talking in the background: Speech keeps playing while your device is locked or you're using another app. • Louder with Bluetooth: Connect a Bluetooth speaker or headphones to make your voice heard even further. • Works everywhere: No internet connection needed. Supports VoiceOver and iPad multitasking. Quick Tip: If a word doesn't sound quite right, try spelling it phonetically. Speak is free with ads. You can remove them with a single in-app purchase in Settings to support development. Have fun! Feel free to email me with any suggestions or comments at loic@loic.tech.

Emergency chat can be used in any situation where speech is impossible but communication is still necessary. The splash screen has a base text that explains to the person you gave your phone to that you can't use speech and want to use this app to communicate. The default text is aimed at people experiencing an autistic meltdown, where their speech centres stay non-functional for a while even after they've recovered. Both the title and text can be adjusted in the settings screen to be whatever you want the person you give your phone to know. You can then continue to the next screen which has a simple chat client.
