Time to upgrade! Get an iPhone 12 mini + Unlimited Data for $60/mo
- I have speech aphasia and am looking for a app that will help me communicate with people better. txting is difficult at times and people get frustrated with me while I'm trying to talk with them.
I'm not sure what would help, my dr suggested that maybe I see if there's any apps for people with this problem for the iphone. He's not too tech savvy, I tried to search on google for it but haven't found anything.

It's been recommended for our 4 year with childhood apraxia of speech (we just bought the iPad and eventually the iPhone, so will have it installed on both).
*can't post the link because I'm not up to 10 posts yetbut if you google it you should find the company info and demos.

- Thanks, this is the result of too many MMA fights. I should've quit when my Dr warned me to but I wanted the title and then retire. My wife's wanted the iPad WiFi for awhile now since all she does is surf the net, watch youtube and email. Nothing else really so I don't see any reason to share my primary laptop with her if I can get that for her other then to sync up her music/apps and then the IOS upgrade.
Downloading Assistive Chat now to iTunes and then will sync when it's done to see how it works.03-24-2011 06:05 PMLike 0 - Hi All,
I know I'm a bit late to the discussion, but I'm part of the team that built Verbally. If you have any questions about it, let me know.
You definitely don't need internet access to use Verbally. But, it is only for the iPad.
I've tried a number of the available solutions on the iPhone/iTouch, and I think the two to check out are SpeakIt & Assistive Chat. SpeakIt is only $1.99. It doesn't offer a broad range of features, but it makes it pretty easy to store phrases & tap a Play button to repeat them anytime. Assistive Chat does that but also provides word prediction for on-the-fly communication.
I still prefer the design we put together for the iPadbut I think those are some pretty good options on the smaller devices.
Best of luck,

They also spoke to a couple people from work and they explained to my wife/kids what I'm doing most of the time and what would be good to have on the favorites. So far it's worked out great for me and I've only had to manually enter a couple times.03-31-2011 02:45 PMLike 0
