An iOS app for people with communication issues

Talk t’me

Overview

Talk t’me was created to give a voice to those who are non-verbal or have any kind of speech delay. This app aims to empower individuals who face challenges in communication by providing them with a platform where they can express themselves effectively.

Who is this app for

While Talk t’me can be used by anyone, it is particularly designed with the following groups in mind:

• Non-Verbal individuals
• People with speech delay
• Autistic individuals (both children and adults) and their parents

How does it work

The Talk t’me language system is based on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices. Users can construct sentences using a graphic interface composed of symbols, allowing them to communicate without relying solely on verbal speech. This system enables users to convey their thoughts and needs effectively, even if they struggle with traditional forms of communication.

Why is this suitable for non-verbal people?

Non-verbal individuals often face challenges in expressing themselves verbally. Talk t’me provides them with a means to communicate using visual symbols, bypassing the need for spoken language. This approach enables non-verbal individuals to overcome communication barriers and engage more fully in social interactions.

The impact on people's lives

Communication is a fundamental aspect of human interaction. For individuals who are non-verbal or have speech delays, the inability to communicate effectively can significantly impact their daily lives. Talk t’me seeks to address this issue by providing a platform where users can express themselves and connect with others more easily. By empowering individuals with effective communication tools, Talk t’me aims to enhance their overall quality of life.

Development stages and challenges

Stage: Prototype / Fully Working Product being tested

Currently, the Talk t’me app is in its final testing phase and is ready to be launched on the App Store. However, several challenges were encountered during the development process, including:

• Creating a promotional campaign video to raise awareness about the app
• Developing a user manual to distribute to organizations and users
• Designing a user-friendly graphic interface that accommodates the needs of diverse users
• Updating the user interface based on feedback and usability testing
