Welcome to iSpeak4U

We make conversation a reality for people with speech difficulties.

As an assistive speech technology application, HandySpeech supplements or replaces speech for people with spoken language difficulties.  The application can help people with speech or language impairments, including autism, stuttering, stroke, expressive aphasia, throat cancer, head and neck cancer, dysarthria, aphasia, muscular dystrophy among others. Users write what they want to say in any one of 13 languages and the software converts the handwriting into speech.

HandySpeech was created by 12-year-old software developer Eric Zeiberg, who was inspired to create the application by his sister -- an autistic individual with speech disabilities. 

 “I hope that HandySpeech will provide much needed help and open new opportunities for people in need,” said Zeiberg. “The application is dedicated to courageous people who struggle every day to overcome their disabilities.”
