As an Assistive Technology Specialist, working with people who have a wide variety of disabilities, I have used many of the Augmentative and Alternative Communication applications that are available for the iPad. HandySpeech will work for anyone who can write or type. The handwriting recognition is great. The overall design is easy to use. This app is very reasonably priced.
Also, I work in an area where English is not necessarily our client’s first language. While this app will not work for those who need picture based AAC, it will work for those who are in communities that do not speak English. |

"My wife and I have been using this app for several days now. I can say that this application fills a void in available speech software. It is what maybe is the easiest and fastest way to carry on a quick or casual conversation. The application's ability to recognize and learn your handwriting is excellent. This is a nice contribution to the quality of life for speech impaired folks," said Robert T., a HandySpeech user.

"We have been putting HandySpeech through its paces this morning. We are both absolutely amazed!!!
Your app really can make an important contribution to quality of life for people who have difficulty speaking.
We searched unsuccessfully for an app that could do this for my wife. I did not find one, and as far as I could learn,
it didn't exist. Thanks to you, it exists now!
I really can't tell you how much this means to me personally, and I know others will feel the same way once they discover your app. What you have done is beyond expectation!"

"Thank your for coming up with a speech app for those who have verbal disabilities.
It is hard for some people to speak and be understood.
It is frustrating to them and also for the person listening.
This app will help so many who have struggled throughout their lives to be heard.
Thank you again."
