Hi,
I just tried Speech Assistant on my iPhone to make a phone call and to my surprise it worked. I love that affordable TTS app so I am really pleased. Perhaps I am missing something but it seems to function fine.

Hello all,

I know this has come up a couple times, and I wanted to make you all aware of this.

It is now technically possible to have the output of an AAC app go over the phone line to the call recipient.  As far as I know, this is currently available with Proloquo2go and Proloquo4Text.  I have tried a couple other AAC apps, but they do not work - there must be some programming that needs to be done on the app side to make this work.

Apparently, there were some changes in iOS 13 that now allow app developers to do this.

Here is a blog post that explains it:
