I've lost my voice multiple times this year for different reasons, and this app has been a life saver. I've been able to keep working, see doctors, and communicate with family members during the holidays. I honestly do not know what other options are out there, but this app has been incredibly powerful for my needs and is beautiful in its simplicity. Note: I have not lost my hearing during any of these times, so I have not used the speech-to-text functionality. I've only used this app for its text-to-speech functionality and its large-font, big-screen typing so that people would not need to read tiny fonts in a notepad app. These features have been especially life-saving since I work construction. The sun's glare makes reading any screen incredibly difficult for English-speakers. And many of the workers on my sites speak little English and read less English, so I'd still be out of work without the user-friendly text-to-speech.

I'm glad to hear that my simple app has helped you in your daily communication. Sorry to hear that you lost your voice; I hope you doing well now. Thanks for the review, and happy new year :)

This has become my go to trusted companion. I tried quite a few apps for communicating with my sidekick (both of us are hard of hearing). This one is very simple and effective. I even put future messages in the add folder for upcoming appts and questions I otherwise would forget. Only thing I requested was a speech function. THEY JUST ADDED IT. SO COOL. THANK YOU!

VERY good but... 1/ almost always the app skips out my last word of the sentence (infuriating). 2/ I can't seem to figure out how to make custom notes, tried over and over again. 3/ it would be nice if you could determine font size and not have it auto size or too small, from page top. 4/ paid ad free version please! 5/ clear button to clear but continue speaking. 6/ would be very good to have all text facing the same way so if you're sitting next to the person you can both read larger. Thanks!
