I
have been playing around with the sono flex lite app. I like the
voice a bit better than what I have heard on others. I can’t
seem to find the option to
change the voices, however, if you buy the full app there may be that
opportunity.

Hello my fellow AT
Professionals.
I am hoping you can help me out to assist a PALS
(see email below) She wants an iPad but can't find her
"voice" on any apps. Currently, she is using Fiona voice on
NextUp and wants it on the iPad but the NextUp folks have said their app
is about 6 months away.
I am familiar with quite a few apps but don't know if
the RealSpeak voices are on any of the communication apps. Do any of
you know? Reading her email (which is below) makes me sad and so
desperate to help her.
Thanks everyone!
Alisa

From my
PALS:
The voices on other apps
like Speak It are are clear but they aren't 'me' if you know what I
mean. They get the job done but they make me sad. I had a nice
voice that was a mix of European and American, I used
to be on the stage and was eloquent, it was beautiful and unique if I do
say so myself. Fiona is the only voice that has personality that I
can relate to. I know it seems petty but I have had to give up so
much of my vanity with this disease that when I
found this one small thing, I clung to it.
