Text-to-speech (TTS) is the way to make yourself understood when you are unable or find it difficult to speak due to an operation, stroke or other reason. Talkie is a free text-to-speech app for iOS and Android for people who cannot (or have difficulty) speaking and can easily make themselves understood.
The Talkie text-to-speech software supports many languages and voices, including Dutch. The power of Talkie is that it is an easy and intuitive communication tool to communicate quickly on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
You can type a short message to communicate with someone else. The letters are larger than normal and can be customized as desired. With the full-screen function, you can display the text even larger. This allows the conversation partner to read the text from a distance.
With the speaker button, you can also have the text spoken in different languages, including English, German, French, Dutch and more.
When you often convert the same text to speech, the soundboard is very handy. With the soundboard you can pre-program your own text or sentences, and assign a color and icon of your choice to the tile. By tapping a tile with your finger, the app will speak the text.
When you set a tile as a shortcut, the tile will appear on the Text-to-Speech screen. This allows you to easily form sentences to be spoken or show to your conversation partner. The shortcut feature will be available after the update in the spring of 2023.
