AutoVerbal Talking Soundboard app for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch

Great app...it has many applications: people with cognitive disabilities, vocal cord problems, degenerative muscle disorders that prevent people from speaking, deaf persons with unintelligible speech, autistic persons, people who are hospitalized and on breathing apparatus. Is this app available for adroids, blackberrys, and other smart-phones? I already know of at least one person...well really two, one deaf and one with a muscle disorder that prevents ability to speak who could use this.

@paulie227 Thanks! Ring now, iOS is the most promising platform for us and our users, but we are also considering Android.

Fair question.  The buttons turn black when pressed, providing visual feedback. Also, if you're holding an iPhone or iPad, you can feel the vibrations created by the speaker. It's pretty noticeable.

In an update, we'll add a 'ticker tape' that shows what text has been spoken, as well!
