Posted on 2 October 2023, 20:18 hour The New Talkie 4.0 is Available!

I’m super excited to announce that the latest Talkie 4.0 update is now available on the App Store and Google Play Store! I’ve been working on this completely revamped update for almost a year, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.

Virtual Pointer Feature

A picture is worth a thousand words, right? With the new image speech function, you can now add photos to your communication—perfect for situations where words fall short, like ordering specific items in a restaurant.

Feature Conceived in Gran Canaria
I was standing in line at the airport and wanted to grab a cup of coffee and a muffin. But the line was so long, and it was so chaotic that I couldn’t point it out. So, I took a photo of the chocolate-chip muffin I wanted!

I’m incredibly proud! What started as an app for myself is now a product that can give a voice back to people with speech issues caused by severe illnesses like cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or spinal cord injuries.
