Type2Talk: Text to Speech AAC

Can't speak right now? Type what you want to say and Type2Talk reads it aloud, or shows it in huge letters for the person in front of you. One tap to speak, one tap to show.

Type2Talk is a simple text to speech and AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) app for anyone who is nonverbal, has lost their voice, or finds speaking hard: after surgery, with a sore throat, with a speech condition, or in places where you can't talk. It turns your phone into a speaking board with big, clear text and natural voices.

TYPE, SHOW, SPEAK
• Type a message and it fills the screen in the biggest text that fits, with no words broken in half.
• Tap Speak and it's read aloud, with each word highlighted as it's spoken.
• Flip the message upside down so the person across the table can read it.
• Expand it to full screen for counters, windows and noisy places.

QUICK PHRASES
• 20 ready-made phrases one tap away: Yes, No, Thank you, I need help, I can't speak, Please speak slowly, Call an ambulance and more.
• Recent messages: your last 20 messages, ready to show or speak again.
• Speak Automatically: say each message as soon as you send it or pick a phrase.

VOICES THAT SOUND RIGHT
• Automatic voice: Type2Talk picks a voice that matches the language of each message.
• Or choose any voice installed on your phone, with its quality shown, and hear it first.
• Adjust speed and pitch to suit you.
• Speaks without an internet connection when you use a voice installed on the device.

MADE TO BE EASY
• A clean, calm screen with large buttons and nothing in the way.
• Light, dark or matching your phone's theme.
• Keep Screen Awake, so your message stays on screen while you hold it up.
• A short guide on first launch shows where everything is.

WHO IT'S FOR
People who are nonverbal or have a speech disability, people recovering from surgery or illness, people who are deaf or hard of hearing and want to type rather than speak, and family members and carers who support them. Also handy anywhere you need to communicate silently: hospitals, libraries, meetings and loud places.

TYPE2TALK PRO
Everything above is free, with a small ad at the top of the screen. Type2Talk Pro is a one-time purchase that removes all ads and lets you add your own quick phrases, edit them and drag them into the order you want. No subscription.
