Description of the app:

Fat Cat Pirate Chat is talk-like-a-pirate entertainment. It includes up to 160 phrases, a real voice that speaks them, and the ability to send pirate-chat messages as texts, tweets, IMs or emails. Its unique interface is designed for a general audience, but is based on the developer?s research and work in assistive technology. This makes witty pirate banter a snap, and allows people with communication disabilities to join in the fun. Fat Cat Pirate Chat is rated 9+ because of some mild bathroom humor.

What makes it special is the real voice combined with e-text capabilities; the unique rapid-fire interface; and the universal design that makes it accessible to people with disabilities.
