SkyText

This is the best app for quickly communicating with the hearing impaired. You can type the sentence or phrase you want to say and simply tilt the phone in landscape and your message scrolls across the screen. The text is large and easily readable even from a distance. The scroll speed is likewise adjustable. What I found extremely useful and quick is using the dictate button and dictate the phrase or sentence you want to say. Best App ever for the hearing impaired.

I tried Sky Text mostly just to see how it worked. It is a very cool application and works great. What I did not expect, however, was to end up using it so much. In less than a week of having it installed on my iPhone, I've actually found many occcasions to put it to practical use. It's the perfect way to grab a wait-person's attention in a loud, crowded restaurant. I can enter a custom message to communicate with my daughter who is always listening to her iPod and can never hear me when I talk to her. As great as it is, there is room for improvement. One thing I'd like to se in future versions is the ability to set your own text color, background color and font. I recommend SkyText to anyone - you will find it more useful than you can imagine!

I love this app! It is really easy to use - I love the way it just takes a flick of the wrist! Ok - maybe it is a twist of the hand - but it works! And it is fun to keep track of what you are saying - I text a bunch and this follows a format I am use to. The letters are clear and easy to read- and the vibe at the end of the text let's me know I am done. Yea, this one is good - easy to use - works well and fun. I checked out the website for the heynow - they know their stuff!
