Reviews for Speech Assistant AAC

Its good in general, does the job and doesnt really have any ads. I like being able to customize the voice and i really like that its not childish and isnt infantilizing. My main issue is with the fact that i typically need this app when i am overstimulated, and of my ways of calming myself down is a pair of bluetooth headphones. To be able to communicate with words i either have to stop listening to music, ungrounding myself, or simply type out what i want to say. Good app, but thats frustratin

Being mute, I depend on better than average TTS apps. This is one app that falls within the average range. It does the job just not like I have on other devices. The voice sounds more like a cartoon voice than a real human. Nobody at Google or any tech savvy friends are able to correct that. I've had this app more than 10 years and in that time this issue has never been addressed. On my other devices I have realistic voices with various accents. So it is achievable.

I finally found the perfect app for me when I'm having non-verbal episodes ! You can save pre-wrote sentences and class them in categories, it's the only app I found that does it for free ! It's also available in many languages It's really handy and you can form sentences really quickly (Though the dark mode really should be free :/)

great app and awesome customer service the upgrade to the full version is definitely worth it

this helps me speak when I cant speak it is the best app that I have found for me to get the help I need for my issues I love how easy it is for me to use on my phone

I'm adhd and autistic and struggle to communicate a lot of the time. This app is easy to use and customisable. I bought the full version as its worth it. Some potential improvements: An option to press and hold on icons to rearrange them Be able to split each category into mini categories/folders that could be at the top of each category. Like it would open all of the food category like normal but have folders at the top to click on if you wanted like takeaway, desserts, breakfast etc

super super usefull! I like that the backup/export files are text editable because it makes mass edditing (e.g. setting up a new profile) much easier. Also like how visually customisable it is. Would love to see more options for backup/export than just the catagory and phrases (color profile, settings, etc) for those of us who need to use it on multiple devices, and more support for external keyboard navigation (I cannot for the life of me figure out how to switch tabs with a keyboard!)

I'm testing this APP to recommend but only free version. The extras for the paid version haven't been viewed. Otherwise, I'm quite pleased with the functionality of the basic free version. I would however love to see the visual symbol system to allow access to wider group. Otherwise, it appears simple, easy, without having to spend out on a huge system. I'll recommend to some with acquired language difficulties for sure.

I've tried a LOT of AAC apps and this is my favourite. I LOVE the option to show your message in large text to the person you're talking to. Love that you can edit, reorder, delete and add your own phrases. Love that you can (optionally) have suggested phrases pop up when you type. This app really does it all. It would be lovely to be able to drag-and-drop to reorder but I imagine that would add to the coding complexity considerably and it's not essential.

I am autistic and have severe anxiety. This app offers a wider range of phrases than other apps I have used. It also has a much more "adult" feel to it than some of the icon-based apps. That said though, it can be confusing as all the buttons look the same (black text on a white background) although there are options to customise this. Phrases can be customised and updated easily on the spot. It is also very easy to control all features such as pitch, speed etc.

I continue to be disappointed that Android has fallen behind the iPhone version. categories please. also please web interface or desktop app simulation to make easier to make boards

cannot get it to translate into a different language, it only repeats the English word with the selected accent. (ie Blue with a Japanese accent, instead of the Japanese word for blue)

Excellent speech assistant app. I appreciate the integration with ElevenLabs since I was able to voice bank my voice before I lost it completely. It's nice to have my words spoken in my own voice.

This helped when I lost my speech. You had to buy it to open features but I couldn't see the benefit. The interface could've been faster ir I need to learn how to type faster. but it will speak for you with prerecorded sayings or what you type.

Really great customization options. Full version is absolutely worth it for the color coding and other extra features. My main gripe is how difficult it is to organize the different buttons, I'm dying for a simple drag and drop. Would be nice if the colors showed up in the reorder menu, at least. Thanks for a great app!

I never know when I may be non-verbal. Gone are the days when I would sift through tapes and cassettes for the right message, scrubbing through to get my point across. And while I might see such a thing through a sickly layer of nostalgia, the reality of being non-verbal is not nearly so forgiving. This app helps get the point across when I struggle with words. Saving phrases for later and sorting words to queue up when further explanation is necessary. Finding the voice engine and settings is crucial for intelligibility in stressful situations. I would recommend this to a friend in need.

While not exactly what I'm looking for, an $11 lifetime purchase + decent free customization is very appealing. 9/10: I would be more inclined to use it if I could nest one category inside another, and I do wish a simple dark mode was free (or even the default, instead of everything being blisteringly whtie all over), but this seems to operate exactly as you'd expect. Incredibly easy to add your own phrases. A little lacking on prewritten phrases, but with limited categories, I'm not surprised.

Very effective, easy to use, and customizable. Does not contain pictures, only text. This makes it unusable for those who can't read. However, I prefer this app over the ones with pictures. As an adult who can read, the others typically seem geared towards children, and have phrases/ words that center on children's needs. I appreciate that I can add my own words, and that it has complete phrases in addition to the words. This is my go to app for the times when I am nonverbal. It's also free!

Has no ads ever. Free version has lots of space for custom words and phrases, & you can re-label the categories however you need. I used the free version for over a year. Now, for a year +, I've been using the paid version, which is a one-time payment. It allows for a bunch more words, phrases, and categories. The paid version also enables some neat organization tools like color coding & adding icons. Best part is if you get a new device you want to transfer data, it's easy AF.

Honestly great for a free app. I couldn't talk for months after damaging my vocal cords and it was a great help getting to communicate out loud for my mental health. I could get help in a store, save questions for later that I could ask my doctor during an appointment, "yell" for help, or just communicate while riding a car. I still use it when it's easier to be non-verbal from everyday autism stuff. It's not perfect and bad at a few names, but the learning curve is reasonable and it helps ♡
