its so cool!
hello! i am a semi-verbal autistic teen. i use this when i go non verbal or dont choose to speak! its very helpful in situations where i cant speak. i love that i can create my own sentences and be able to customize the voice! its also very convenient, i could use it anywhere. im unfortunately undiagnosed but got it confirmed by a physician, so my parents sort of understand my situation when i use this. thank you so much for creating this wonderful app! 🫶🏻
Shameful, legitimately.
The fact that these developers rug-pulled certain people by originally having the voice change options be free - and as of a recent update, it seems, put it behind a paywall is… Shameful to say the least. The app already had its issues and its ridiculous choices as to what to paywall. But the concept of paywalling something that may help an AAC user feel some level of control over something as identifying as their voice… It’s repulsive. It’s a disgusting choice. Plus, doing such and having the gal to call their app “accessible” - have sales for AAC awareness despite everything showing they don’t care about AAC users who don’t pay them - and doubling this paywall by hiding any sort of one time payment on their website, leaving only a subscription open on the app. It just very much reads like they! Don’t! Care! @Devs; I genuinely expect you to respond with the same canned “Go to our website for a one time payment uwu” like you do to everyone else. Go ahead. It shows how little you care.
Greedy Developers smh
Love the voice options but the price is ridiculous. I would recommend this to all of my autistic friends if it wasnt 12 dollars a month or 99 a year! No option for one time purchase at a reasonable price??? Putting this kind of paywall on disabled people is shameful.
Overpriced for a basic and disappointing product
The fact that this app has the gall to call itself “accessible” and then lock basic features behind exorbitant prices to extort the disabled insults me. The lifetime premium is far more expensive for what it does (unlocks a few basic features), and they hide it on their website- in the app you can only pay for the subscriptions, because they want to prey on people who forget to unsubscribe. I did not ask to be disabled. I would simply speak if I could. That’s not an excuse to extort me. It even goes so far as to disable the predictive text feature which came built into my phone’s keyboard just so they could paywall a “learning predictive keyboard” as a “premium” feature. This also disables autocorrect, which is incredibly frustrating. On top of that, the predictive text is useless. It loads so slowly that typing is much faster. It can’t even be used offline, unlike, oh, I don’t know, the predictive text feature built into my phone’s keyboard. I thought once my free trial ran out that I would be restricted to one or two basic voice options, presumably the first two on the list (Magnolia and Oak), with no control over pitch or speed. Nope. The voice they gave me wasn’t even an option. It’s the most outdated, horrible sounding tts voice I’ve ever heard. Barely legible and grating on the ears. It’s apparently called DECTalk and was made all the way back in 1983. Impressive technology for the time, sure, but horrendous today. Just awful. I’d get better results from using google translate’s built in voice.
Requires Literacy
This app would be ok for someone who is educated and can read/understand English, but it is not helpful for people who don’t have written English language skills. You need to be able to read in English to successfully use this app. Most people who can read, can also speak for themselves. I would only recommend this app for a person of average to above average intelligence who is fluent in reading the English language. It is very text heavy and the images are not big enough or drawn in a way that aids understanding.
Would have changed my life!
Too bad it's behind a massive paywall! This is one of the best apps I have ever used to TTS. It helps a lot when I'm nonverbal. It has great voices, speedy ways to use the app, just one problem. I have to pay $13 a month??? Are you kidding me? Maybe one time, sure, but every month? Imagine paying a subscription fee for a cane or a wheelchair. These developers are greedy. Stop putting disability aids behind a huge paywall. This is such a disappointment and the devs should be ashamed.
Subscription??
The app functions great, but why should anyone have to pay a subscription to use an accessibility feature? There are nonverbal people for multitudes of reasons, and to profit off that is asinine. $12 a month for full access to an app that benefits nonverbal people everywhere is atrocious behavior. Just make the features free.
