TypeOut

Type it. Your phone says it out loud.

When someone answers, their words come back as big text. Back and forth. That’s all it does.

Speak

Make the text as large as it goes, then flip it with one tap

Asking directions, ordering, checking in at a clinic — without having to explain again why you’re not speaking. Keep the lines you say often as phrases and tap once to play them. One tap flips the text upside down and moves it to the lower half of the screen, so the person across the table reads it the right way up. You never hand your phone over.

Listen

The moment they speak, it turns into big text

No need to ask twice. After two seconds of silence it starts a new line, with one sentence in each block, so looking back is easy. Text size and line spacing are yours to set — up to 50% larger.

Notes

And a third page, written for yourself

The speaking and listening screens face outward. The diary faces you. It uses a handwriting font and ruled paper, with a cat leaving a little mark in the corner. It locks itself the moment you leave the page.

A few smaller things

  • Twelve looks, switch anytime

    Twelve looks, switch anytime

    Six include a handwriting font and an animal that changes pose based on what you’re doing. Six are plain — one of those is high contrast, for low vision.

  • Phrases you can actually organize

    Phrases you can actually organize

    Create categories, drag phrases to reorder them, select several at once to delete, move, or change their color. If you delete one by mistake, you have two and a half seconds to undo it — no confirmation box in the way.

  • Your own character

    Pick a photo from your library and it becomes the animal in the corner. The cutout happens on your phone; the photo never leaves it.

  • Nothing lost when you switch phones

    Export one file and take it with you: your phrases, the audio already synthesized for them, and every setting you’ve adjusted.

Who it’s for

Made for people who can’t speak. People who have never been able to, people recovering from surgery, people with a sore throat, people who just had their wisdom teeth out — and people who simply don’t feel like talking today.

What costs money

Your phone’s built-in voice is free, unlimited, and works in airplane mode. The more natural-sounding voices are synthesized on a server as you use them and are billed by the character — that is what the membership and top-up packs pay for.
