"[Esteemed NZ musician Chris Knox] had a stroke last year. I bought Chris an iPad specifically because of your AutoVerbal app. I try to get him to use it when he is having trouble expressing what he is trying to get across as he has almost no speech. There is potential for this to be a long term major tool to help him. Thanks again, you are doing good work."

AutoVerbal GirlTalk uses a Female voice. Try AutoVerbal PRO for Male and Female voices. PRO also lets you customize the photos for the top row of buttons! Look for AutoVerbal in multiple languages.
