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.
