This is a free app. for iPad (or iPhone) that can be useful for people who have severe aphasia and can't speak or have difficulties with speech. The 'Verbally' app. can help to have a conservation with others.

This is the website that explains the 'Verbally' application.

Verbally

There is a keyboard and a dictionary of words and terms that you can use. Select a word or term and it will go to the monitor. If it's not noisy, select for the app. to read what put on your monitor. The 'voice' is the free app. is robotic. If you want to pay, there is better 'voices'.

In group settings, there is 'bell' that tells others in the group that you want to say something.

I don't have an iPad or an iPhone. If you try the app. tell how you liked it, so I can tell others!
