Product Description:
Type2Speak is an iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad app that provides text to speech technology to people with difficulty communicating. This could be a result of the weakness of the muscles of speech (dysarthria) or difficulties with voice (dysphonia).
Main Features:
- Users can save phrases and access them via a library function. In the library pressing the "Aa" button will automatically paste the selected phrase into the speech window on the main page.
- By using the "edit" function in the library, users can delete or re-order saved phrases to personalize the use of the app.
- Each phrase has a button represented by three horizontal lines on the right-hand side of the edit page. To move a selected phrase up or down the list, simply press and hold the button and drag the phrase to the required position.
- An optional voice synthesis library will be used when the device has an active internet connection. This library is configurable through the device Settings.
- If increased volume is required, any external speaker that uses a 3.5mm jack could be used. On iPad Bluetooth keyboards can be used where users require an alternative to the on-screen keyboard.
