SPECIAL TESTIMONIAL

Gina,

I just want to thank you and your support team for all your help and most of all, creating app2speak.

I discovered app2speak after my best friend Bob, (we’ve been like brothers for 60 years) was diagnosed with throat cancer and was told he had to have a laryngectomy and he would lose his voice.

He’s not as technical as I am and asked me to try and find something that would allow him to communicate with his mobile phone once he became speech impaired. He wanted to be able to text his words and have his phone speak them out for face-to-face communication.

After searching the web for something that might work for him, I kept seeing app2speak pop-up. I went on the website and it looked like it would be helpful.

I contacted customer support and that’s when you helped so much.

You let me download the 14-day full app trial to my android phone. Once we figured out a couple of glitches Android apps on my phone were causing, we were off and running.

The two features of the app, text to speech and the photo-based pages with their phrases, and the ability to create custom pages and phrases was amazing.

Bob purchased the app (worth every penny) and we began practicing with each other until he was comfortable with using it before his surgery.

The best part about this story is when Bob had his surgery at Tuffs Medical Center in Boston MA, he woke up from recovery and was able to communicate with the medical staff immediately. The nurses were amazed and had never seen that app before. They took the information down for future patients.

Not only could he text his words to speech but he found the preloaded photo pages to be extremely helpful.

Now that he is home, he uses the app every day. He has his custom pages set up for everything from the supermarket to an emergency call photo with critical emergency information.

This app is truly a life changing tool.

Again, I want to thank you.

Wonderful for Individuals

This application is wonderful for individuals who cannot speak for themselves.  My father has Progressive Supra-Nuclear Palsy (PSP) and we can barely hear him so we purchased this app for him. It is very user friendly and easy to customize for each individual person.  The owner is great and took her time on a Saturday to work with us. Gina is wonderful!  Thanks, Gina for creating this software

Lisa (Florence, SC)

Wonderful App!

My husband is losing his speech and this app is allowing him to continue to communicate. It is easy to use; very user friendly, especially for those of us that are technologically-challenged. There are so many great features. We love the fact that you can personalize your communication. There is no limit to the amount of words and phrases you can add.

Kathy (Pleasanton, CA)

Flexibility is Truly Amazing

APP2Speak is the ONLY app I use for individuals who are nonspeaking or who need assistance! Because of this app and giving individuals a voice, we have found out about serious medical issues that negatively impacted an individual’s life! The flexibility of this app is truly amazing! I love that real pictures can be used and easily uploaded in a moment’s notice! The fact that you can record a voice to speak phrases is outstanding! This product grows with the individual which many others do not allow. I can’t say enough except thank you for giving some amazing individuals the opportunity they need to be able to communicate and socialize with others.

Helpful App

The app is very helpful for those unable to talk. I had a stroke that has made it hard for me to talk. This app helps especially in an environment where people don’t want to try and understand me.

Matt (Carbondale, IL)

Great Low Cost Text-to-Speech APP

This is a great tool for anyone with speaking difficulties. We really like the tool. You can customize it to your needs and it is an awesome aid in helping promote text to speech conversations. I would recommend this app!

Real Pictures

I love the real pictures. I think the realistic aspect also helps with learning so individuals can better identify things.

Sagan (Oakton, VA)

Gift from A Friend

My friend purchased this for me. As a person with Parkinson disease, my speech is getting worse and more difficult for others to understand. APP2Speak on tablet helps me to communicate to family and others. I like the real photos and adding my own photos to personalize what I want to say. The text to speech is an easy way to communicate quickly.

Russell (Orlando, FL)

Full Sentences & Realistic Pictures

What I love about your app is it speaks in full sentences and the pictures are realistic.

Gabriella (Providence, RI)

Recommended to Patients

APP2Speak is great! I have recommended it to quite a few patients as a very good AAC app. We also use APP2Speak while we are working on improving their own speech after a stroke. I find it is important to have a means for patients to communicate right away, even if their aphasia will improve I like to give them a “voice” as soon as possible.

Roseann, (New Berlin, WI)

Awesome Communication Tool

What an awesome communication tool! Just tap on the picture and the app speaks for me! You can even create custom phrases. It’s a great tool for anyone with speaking difficulties.

Joe (Blackwell, MO)

Convenience and Ease

I appreciate the convenience and ease of APP2Speak for providing functional and effective communication for my clients experiencing acute communication impairments and those with persistent impairments. I have found that the families and caregivers can easily add or remove icons and the convenience of adding the communication aid to a clients existing iPad device is affordable! Thank you for providing a quality and user friendly communication option!

Katie (Chesterfield, MO)

Converse with Anyone

As a person with Bulbar ALS, my ability to speak is virtually gone. I was loaned a big, heavy speech device. Since APP2Speak software works on my iPad, it fits in my purse. The “text-to-speech” feature allows me to converse with anyone. It makes living with ALS much easier.

Helen (St. Peters, MO)

I am very satisfied with APP2Speak. I am an SLP; it was created by an SLP. It is intuitive and flexible – great price!
