Articuloud is a Text-to-Speech (TTS) Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) aid which can assist you to speak in your native language, by generating speech based on the text you enter.

Articuloud is ideal for people who have good cognitive abilities and written language skills, but have lost the ability to speak, due to a physical impairment such as Motor Neurone Disease/ALS, Cerebral Palsy, Stroke, Head and Neck Cancer or a Head Injury.

Articuloud is the first TTS system to be fully multilingual within a single app, and this is achieved by using a third party native language keyboards and voices, along with an optional in-app purchase of translation, if required.

Third party keyboards such as SwiftKey allow you to change the input language of Articuloud.

Then by using matching native language voices such as the CereProc or Acapella voices,

Articuloud will output speech in any language!

Articuloud also works with Android Supported Voice Banked Voices such as ModelTalker, (http://www.modeltalker.org/) allowing you to speak in your own voice.

Articuloud saves your phrases for quick access, and retrieves them as you type for quick and efficient communication. Additionally phrases can be location tagged, to speed up finding the right phrase in a particular location.

Articuloud has a privacy mode, which, when enabled will stop phrases being saved locally or online, ensuring as no sensitive information is saved.

Articuloud is switch accessible via third party hardware and Android's accessibility settings.

Included with the app, is a free online Articuloud account linked to www.articuloud.com.

The Articuloud app will automatically back up your phrases, in the background, to your individual Articuloud account. This enables you to access all of your communication on another device through the Articuloud Website, and resync your phrases to the app if you change device.

I have ALS and this app will allow me to speak through my Android. It saves my phrases or words and I can load "banked" words/phrases. Not being able to speak is very lonely and I cant wait to use it!

* great promotion * need to use more natural voice, the one i get is too robotic. If it's already possible, please make it more obvious how to change the voice to be more natural, like a real person talking * allowing black theme would be a great plus. pitch black background with grey foreground color. all color should be able to be changed * what are the icons on the top for ? some of them don't have any indication what they are used for * I prefer to be able to export the result as MP3 files and to save them on the external SD card, and to share them to other app, etc * again thanks for the promotion. this allows me to try and evaluate your app. 5 stars

Thank you for your review! We didn't include lots of voices as licencing pushed up the price of the app. If you search Play for TTS voices, there are loads for £1-2 that you can download additionally. I'd suggest Acapella or Cereproc for the most natural sounding. Other points noted, thanks!

Please don't forget that this app is for those who has speech problems. It is not for everyone to use. Think it as a walking stick, you may not need it but this doesn't mean it is bad. This is a great app. more natural voices would be really nice, but understandable.
