About this app

"You can communicate without speaking."

You want to ask "Do you have this?" at a store, but you're not good at calling out...
You want to tell the person next to you on the train that you'll be getting off at the next stop, but you can't quite bring yourself to say it...
You're asked for directions by a foreigner, but you can't answer in English...

In those situations, you can communicate by simply showing them the text on your smartphone.

Because it's natural to use a smartphone in portrait mode,
we designed the entire display to be completely vertical.
(The text will be displayed horizontally for languages ​​other than Japanese and Chinese, or when displayed in landscape mode on a tablet or other device.)

・People who have difficulty speaking and find it easier to communicate by writing
・People who want to ask store clerks questions but find it difficult to speak

[Developer's Vision]
This app was born from the developer's own experience as a person with limited speaking ability. We created this app to solve everyday problems like wanting to ask where a product is in a store but not being able to speak, or losing confidence when people say their sentences are hard to hear.

We developed it together with people with disabilities at a welfare workshop.

With the aim of creating an app that can solve the problems faced by people with disabilities, we continue to make improvements while respecting the perspectives of those with disabilities.

[Usage Scenarios]
🏪 At a convenience store: "Please heat it up." "One pair of chopsticks is fine."
☕ At a cafe: "Takeout, please." "Can I have sugar and milk, please?"
🏥 At the hospital: "I have a fever." "I'm allergic to medicine."
🚃 On the train: "I'm getting off at the next stop." "Does this train go to XX?"
🛍️ When shopping: "Can I try it on?" "Do you have other colors?"
🗾 Assisting foreigners: "This is the way." "Turn right" (machine translation)
📱 In emergencies: "Help me!" "I'm feeling unwell."

[Features]
- Designed specifically for portrait mode, so you don't have to switch your smartphone.
- Simple operation makes it easy for those who aren't good with technology.
- Basic functions available offline.
- Privacy-conscious options include the option to hide conversation history.

Even if you're not comfortable speaking out loud, there's no need to give up on communication. "Tate Talk" will help you express your ideas.

Try it for free first. We hope it will make your daily life a little easier.

[About Updates]
We regularly improve the app's functionality. If you find any issues, please let us know in a review. All members of the welfare workshop will review the app and strive to make it even easier to use.
