Whisper - talk without voice

I have ALS - and this app has made it possible for me to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues much more effectively than other apps or systems out there. It works locally and remotely, so I can converse with people in the same room or across the world. It allows people to see what I’m typing in real time as I type it - so they know I’m “talking” and are less inclined to fill the “silence” and talk over me. It can also generate audible speech (using my Eleven Labs cloned voice, or one of the Apple-provided voices) - which is useful when other people can’t watch a screen.

Super easy to use as a Listener! And can’t imagine life without it, allows me to communicate with friend with ALS who can no longer speak. Typing sound allows me to know when my friend is speaking, even when not looking at my device

As a person living with ALS, I rely on apps like this to communicate. Whisper integrates with iOS really nicely to offer the best quality speech with Eleven Labs voice clones. I never Whisper with a dedicated Listener—I just use it to speak. My only suggestion is to move the ‘add a listener’ button to the top of the screen so it doesn’t get triggered by my eye-gaze system when I’m typing out text.
