Reviews: What People Think About Spoken - Tap to Talk AAC

Rating: 4/5
I’m young but I have barely any communication skills. This app is good for people who can’t communicate what they want or need in the moment. I’m taking a star off because I feel like it could be better, but it’s pretty decent.

My wife had a brain tumor removed and lost speech temporarily while the brain recovered. She had full comprehension and knew the words to say she just couldn't speak them. She could type on her phone perfectly fine, and this app coupled with a good quality Bluetooth speaker was a godsend. - it gave her a voice. The "poppy" voice is a very nice natural female voice.
I have one suggestion. Autocorrect - either as a default or at least as an option to just use the phone's built in autocorrect. The predictive text is awesome, but in the days after the surgery as my wife became more comfortable looking at her phone and typing, we found she could type what she wanted to say faster than selecting words from predictive text (which was awesome at first or for those with difficulty typing). In our situation we also found it much more natural to turn off the setting to speak every word as it's being typed, and instead write out the sentence, then tell the app to speak. However, the lack of auto correct on individually typed words really slowed her down. We all have gotten spoiled by autocorrect so it seems unnatural and difficult to type without it.

Some of these reviews must be paid for because this is the most user unfriendly app I’ve ever had. It gives no information on how to use it. Maybe it does if you pay the $13 monthly subscription for premium but it’s mostly just a very limited and confusing text to speech app and not an AAC. When you open it it tells you that you have a 500 word limit and that means every word in a phrase as well. It goes down as you choose words. On the main screen it only lists 27 basic words that have no categories to make it easy to find and put together. You can search for words and more come up but scrolling down it doesn’t scroll down to more words like it looks as if it will. I can’t find a way to log and store phrases. This is a scam app targeted to disabled people for an outrageous amount of money and an unnecessary subscription. I recommend Speech Assistant AAC instead, it costs a lot of money for an app but it’s well organized and not a subscription that you would have to consistently pay in order to help you communicate.
