Speak4Me App Review
-->
By: Alexa Splagounias, EC-SEAT Scholar
I looked at a text to
speech app called Speak4Me. This is a free application for an iPhone or
iPad in which you can type out what you want to say and the app will read it
out loud. I found this device in the App
Store on my iPad. This would allow
someone who is non- verbal to be able to communicate through typing out what
they want to say and having the app say it for them. I downloaded the app and played around with
the different voice tones, etc. to familiarize myself with the app. I found this device to be very easy to use
for anyone from a young children to adults.
Something positive about this device that I really liked is that you can
adjust the speed at which the app reads and says what you wrote. You can also add common phrases to your
“favorites” so that you do not have to type it out each time. You can also choose from many different voice
options and dialects from many different languages. This allows for the voice to be more
personalized. 
A potential difficulty
with this app is that if you want to export your text, it has to be under 2,000
characters which can be a little limiting.
So, if you wanted to convert your phrases to an audio file and share it,
it would have to be under that 2,000 character limit. But, there is an option to upgrade to
premium, where there is no limit for characters but there is an additional cost
to do so.
