Talk For Me - Text to Speech

iOS Universel / Utilitaires

Your voice deserves to be heard clearly and effortlessly. Built from the ground up by a developer who lost the ability to speak, Talk For Me is engineered with a deep, personal understanding of what truly matters when connecting with others. Whether you are navigating ALS, recovering from a stroke, managing other medical conditions, or simply need a daily tool to assist with communication, Talk For Me bridges the gap.

KEY FEATURES:
• Speech to Call: Seamlessly sends your text-to-speech audio directly into phone calls and FaceTime calls.
• Siri Shortcuts Integration: Trigger your most frequently used everyday phrases directly through Siri without even opening the app.
• Personal Voice Support (iOS 17+): Create a digital copy of your own voice and use it within the app.
• Visual "Karaoke" Tracking: See exactly what is being spoken in real-time. Words are highlighted as they are said.
• Rebuilt Speech Engine: Combine sentences, questions and exclamations in one paragraph and it will all be spoken naturally with human-like emphasis.
• Smarter Number Pronunciation: No need to type awkward commas into long sequences like phone numbers, zip codes, or IDs. Just type the numbers naturally, and the voice engine will automatically insert human-sounding pauses!
• Customizable Quick Buttons: Store your most common phrases in 6 main buttons, or swipe up to access four additional pages of custom buttons. Long-press any button to assign specific text, titles, speech rates, and even different voices to them!
• Hardware Keyboard Support: Navigate the app at lightning speed. iPad and Magic Keyboard users can utilize native shortcuts (Cmd + F, Cmd + 1, etc.) to search, navigate, and speak without touching the screen.
• Library Database: Save unlimited phrases or partial sentences. On the Library page, you can swipe left on an entry to delete, swipe right to pin, or tap Edit to rearrange all entries. To edit a phrase tap the blue (i) info icon on the right side of any row.
• Custom Library Categories: Instantly find the right words when you need them. Save phrases and filter them using custom category chips and easily rename up to four of them in Settings (Default: All, General, Personal, Phone Calls, Smart Home, Temp).
• iCloud Sync & Restore: Upload your custom buttons, library phrases, and settings to iCloud. Download them instantly to a new iPhone or iPad to keep your devices perfectly in sync.
• Local Backup Snapshots: Create instant local backups of your setup.
• Data Control Center: A new menu to easily manage your Local Backups, iCloud Sync, Appearance, Library Categories and Custom Button Page Titles all in one place.

ADDITIONAL TOOLS:
• Secure Privacy Wipe: Shake your device (or use a two-finger tap) to permanently wipe the text window.
• Seamless Audio Ducking: The voice engine will automatically lower your background media volume while your phrase is spoken.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

In our continuous mission to make communication simple and accessible, Version 2.5 brings powerful new tools designed to reduce friction and give you more independence.

・The "Archive" is now the Phrases Library: With recent additions like lightning-fast search and custom organization, your saved sentences aren't just archived away—they are a dynamic, instantly accessible library ready the second you need them.

・Custom Library Categories: Make the app truly yours. You can now rename up to four of your category tabs in the Data & Settings menu to perfectly match your daily routine (e.g., changing a tab to "Medical," "Restaurants," or "Family").

・Rock-Solid iCloud Sync: We tracked down and resolved a rare server-side bug that caused "Upload Failed" errors for some users. Your cloud backups will now sync flawlessly across your devices. We also smoothed out a minor visual bug when dragging and rearranging items in your Library.
