Type and Speak

I really like this app! I just had a laryngoscopy and I am unable to speak. This is perfect for me to communicate with my 5 year old. It has been difficult for her because I can't talk to her. With his app I can talk to her and it has made it easier for the entire family but especially for her.

I prank called my friend and his parents actually thought it was from the school saying that he got held back.Then my friend almost got in trouble, but then he figured out it was me.

This app is prfect if you want to read text yourself but if you want to have the app read it for you (like it's supposed to) then this isn't the app for you. Theres a "speak" button and when you click it theres a pause button but there's nothing to pause. This app never a sound on my device at all...

This app has been perfect for me since I listen to entire books on this app while working, so it's a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT when the English UK voice was changed because there's something very wrong with the new one, it's too scratchy and unnatural. Is there ANY WAY to change the voices back to the way they were before? I can't use this app anymore if I can't.

My seizures took my ability to speak to my 5 year old little girl. This app has made it so I could find a way to speak to her. To find an app that not only can give you that gift, and they do it at no charge makes my heart just believe there are still people who care. Thank you, and if I could give you more stars I would.

This app is widely praised and i see why. Its amazing it can help people who cant speak or choose not to. I love the features it offers but one thing i liked the most was i found it just in time for a day of silence to represent the people who dont speak up about bullying. If this app was ant better id be blown away. Other then the voices being limited it offers more then all the other apps with the same functions.

I use this app all day, everyday to communicate because I can't talk. This app works great for mainly two key reasons: it has a large text box and a simple, clean looking UI. These two features are very important for those that can't talk because we're often in situations where we need to have the other person read what we've typed instead of pressing speak. For those instances, it really helps to have a large text box, and for the app to avoid using colors that would distract the other person, like you see with some of the other TTS apps. However, this app needs two things changed. First, it simply needs an update just so we'll know it hasn't be abandoned, as it hasn't been updated since 2012. Secondly, with the new Samsung Galaxy S8, this app doesn't get support the new display ratio. I'd gladly be willing to pay for an updated version of this app...

Its straight to the point. I copy paste web novel chapters on this to read as I do other stuff and i like how simple it is. I can change the pitch, speed, and accent as I please and it can play in the background while my phone is on sleep mode too. My only problem is that saving doesn't do anything. I clicked it and something saved but nothing opens the save file so idk how that works...

THIS IS AN AMAZING APP! One problem: I wish that we can make the voice different. I know there is an option to do accents, but they dont do anything :/. OTHER THAN THAT, THIS IS PERFECT!!

It's helpful bc I'm sick and I can't talk so it hurts my throat it's better than paper and pencil but there is this pop up every time I'm about to type it says something like to finish this and the u pick something EVERY TIME it's very annoying plz fix it thx

Type and Speak provides a text box for you to type in, then you can control speech through play, stop, rewind, and fast-forward buttons. There are options to change the pitch, speed, font size, and enable it to start speaking while typing. You can save speech output as audio files. The app alerts you that the file is saved as well as gives you the option to share the file. It also translated "Hello my name is Phone" text into Spanish (speech output). It only took me a few minutes to get this app downloaded, started, and speaking.

I believe this app is awesome! It's funny to mess around with and yeah. Although the text's voice should be able to be changed into like a robot or helium, you know, to make it funnier. This is my favorite miscellaneous app, so for you people out there who haven't tried it yet, GET THIS! It's fun, although one more thought: Put a text voice changer that can change to anything you can put on. Thanks! Once again, best fun random app EVA!

For people like myself who can't talk, we need a certain kind of TTS app, and this app is nearly all of what we need. What we need is a text box that's as large as possible, and few distractions on the main screen, as we sometimes have the other person read what is typed instead of pressing speak. This app is a lot better than a lot of other TTS apps we could use, but please try to combine the two bars into one bar, and update some of those button icons.

It should have a choice in gender. Plus it would be nice if the pitch actually worked. Sometimes it reads the last sentence first and nobody has any clue what your trying to say. Better than nothing, but 3 stars is a kind review, with only 2 adjustments that dont seem to work...

Thanks to the developers for designing this wonderful app because it helps my mute friend communicate with me and others that can't read hand signs well. And it's also a great application for individuals with an speech impediment that has difficulties speaking words and phrasing sentences. Thanks again to the developers for a Job well done.

Loved it once I learned how to control the voice, pitch and speed. Best part is how easy it is to store commonly used phrases and then retrieve them. Once you build the library of things one would need to say, it makes it super easy! This is being used for a person with Parkinson's who also has had a mild stroke and I think it will be perfect.

I'm working with my nonverbal niece. It seems no one notice she could read, since they have been using only picture cards. I found your app downloaded it. It's made great changes in her life communicating at home and when we are out.

This application helped me recently make it through a very serious medical time when I was not able to talk, due to a peritonsillar abcess, on my own but was perfectly timed to assist me in speaking with medical professionals concerning my unique emergency condition. Thank you so much for this application. Dr.s and RN's were stunned (and loved) how I was able to use an application for my speech, seperate from pen & paper. Thank you for making sure my voice was not taken away by illness, very helpful app.

I downloaded this app because I'd lost my voice. As long as your sentences are short, it works great! I typed in 12 words and it stopped after 11. Not a big deal, as I work with young children and short sentences work better anyway. Today I am happy I found this app!

I have severe depression and dont want to talk. Shame though because I cant use this app as my mum says im not trying and staff will just say that I cant use it!! :'(

This is great. But, i found two the annoying thing. The first is, after you click to speak, the cursor go to the beginning of the text, so we need to tap the text again to make some correction. What i want is, cursor stay in its position, so we can directly tap keyboard after speak, to make correction. Second is, when we click clear text, there is two option again, cancel and clear. It would be good if its directly clear the text, no more cancel option

It's nice to have a lengthy article read to you. especially in the pleasing British accent. Fan fiction, news articles, All good. But if you feel like writing a little yourself it's nice to have your own work read back to you to see if it flows

Finally an app i've been looking for years... I'm so happy when i click download... When i open the app and type "Hi", I was so dissapointed that i didn't hear the voice :( I was looking for this app because it would be awesome for video makers who don't want people to recognize their voice...

In the space provided just type anything you want single word or sentences it will read all that. You can also directly paste big paragraphs from webpages. Other apps used to hang and were featureless unless you pay them but this one is perfect.

Freezes way too much. I have a faily new phone, completely updated, so it wouldn't be freezing so much unless there was something wrong with the app. It does come in handly because im sick and lost my voice though. Im thankful for that. But if I try to say something longer than a sentence, it freezes.

I prank called my friend and his parents actually thought it was from the school saying that he got held back.Then my friend almost got in trouble, but then he figured out it was me.

I have a neurological voice disorder called adductor spasmodic dysphonia. The muscles in my vocal chords spasm and choke off the sound intermittently, so it can be really hard for people to understand me. Especially if the place is noisy because I can't speak up over the sound and can't talk loudly. This app is my savior! I can save things that I've typed, such as an explanation as to why I'm using the phone to talk for me and don't have to retype it every time I need it. Thank you so much for this app.

This all works great with the Samsung voice app, it will speak what ever you write in in HD voice male or female in a bunch of languages and even English in a German, Russian or any accent. I messed about with this for ages and can come in handy for my YouTube videos. It's a must have app!

I lost my voice (laryngitis), so I stumbled across this app. I love it, only thing is why only female voices are used? Imagine a guy wants to use this for a speech and it sounds like a girl.

My video editor apps don't support this kind of format. Useless. This is MY only problem. Overall it's very good.

I just had my tonsils taken out, I am 18, so the recovery time is much longer and much more painful than it would be for a child. So eating, drinking, and especially talking is entirety too painful to do. I had a white board but its slower to write it all on a white board than it is to type, also its easier for people to understand me with the app. Only problem I have is that when you set it to a dialect it changes back to the original settings. Other than that, its a great app

Fantastic! I didn't need internet to use it either. It did exactly what I needed when I became sick and was unable to use my voice. Thank you!!

Everytime i try to choose an accent, the accents don't show up. The accents rarely show up and also when i turn my phone to 180° the application stops working. Please fix this

Love this, have been using it for about 3 or more years now i think. Wouldnt use any other. Sumple, does the trick, and you can save your speach. Love it. If i could make a suggestion that i would ABSOLUTELY love to have, add some effects PLEEEEASE! Like a robotic or droid, and echo too. Please please.

This really helps with my 9 year olds reading, when she gets stuck on a word she types it in and then moves on. Also great with her spelling as she needs to type it in she becomes more familiar with the word.

I like this app because its really fun to type a page or something from a book and having someone to read it out. Sadly, this isn't a very useful app for me. Keep on working!
