4/5ALS speech disabled
Love the app. I am non verbal so this app has become my voice. Love that I can save so many phrases and it is easy to learn. Do wish the setting to use only the iPhone/iPad speaker was easier to turn on. I need to go into settings, “speech, recordings and sounds” and scroll down to “always use built in speakers” to change every time I want to use to answer the phone and then back thru settings to set back to hear thru a speaker. Takes too long to keep changing. Should be one button on the main screen to do this. I also wish the auto correct was better. I seem to make many more errors on this app than I do on text, email or word documents. The app “guesses” are wildly wrong and often times non sensical. Like if I use the app at the drug store to get Percocet, the app corrects to “petticoat.” Also, it mispronounces certain words like invalid - meaning disabled - not in val id - meaning not valid. (Which ironically is how I often feel as a disabled person!)

4/5So Grateful for this Miraculous App!
Thank you so much for creating Speech Assistant! Finding this app--that wonderously works across my iPhone, iPad, and Mac--changed my life when I lost my voice box. This affordable and dynamic tool enabled me to be heard in the various languages I speak. I'm sure it can do much more than I have used in these two years. It is far better than any other app I could find, including those recommended by the speech therapy community. My only critique is not being able to access the full functionality. It seems to record sessions but I can't make it work. (As a writer and educator this feature could be invaluable; I still teach online.) And this latest update seems to have disabled my ability to use the return key to send/speak. Would love to find support on this...

5/5A great help for ALS patients
Due to my ALS, I’ve been having issues speaking over the phone and/or people understanding me in person due my struggles with word pronunciation and the decline in my ability to speak due to ALS. This app is a great tool that allows me to communicate better over the phone & in person. Having the ability to text and the app speak for me, is a huge benefit! With the pre-programed phrases, words, and the ability to easily customize…I no longer need someone to accompany me on phone calls, or when going to the pharmacy, bank, store, or even just socializing with friends and family. I’m now able to communicate on my own with the assistance of this app on my smartphone. A big THANK YOU goes out to the developers of this app!!

5/5Excellent app
What an excellent app. I’ve been using it since 2021 and it’s really helped me communicate in person, and online while also have the ability to easily connect to my phone, opening up my world. I can easily customize my in person conversations for most every situation. I use it on my phone and pad and can sync them so I’m always on the same page in my communication. The manual is easy to follow and best yet is the developers help line. I’ve had a few issues, mostly my fault, and they’ve resolved them quickly and to all our satisfaction, they’re constantly working to improve the app. Thanks you for this…

5/5Very useful app!!
Due to oral cancer treatments, I lost my ability to speak clearly. As a teacher, this has significantly disrupted my ability to speak to students and colleagues one on one. This app has been a huge help with communication professionally. It has also been extremely helpful with my frequent doctor and hospital visits and interpersonal communication in general. In fact, I had a doctor ask for the name of the app as he was impressed with its functionality and versatility. This app has been extremely helpful in many aspects of my life! My thumbs have gotten so fast with typing that I rival my three teenage daughter’s texting abilities! 😜. Although still slower than normal speaking conversation, it is faster and less cumbersome than writing messages out by hand. Thanks for developing this great app!
