A great investment!

This app saved our family. We used to use a specialized device, but our son stopped using it when he became a teenager saying, "It looks
stupid. I hate it". It seemed like he didn't like being different from his other friends. However, Voice4u can be used on the iPod touch, so
when he went to school with it the other kids kept talking about how "cool" or "awesome" it was. My son seemed very happy. Now he uses his
iPod touch to communicate with his friends. He has a lot of fun conversing with others, showing his friends his app and talking about other cool iTouch applications. Thanks to Voice4u, my son has made a lot more friends, and really looks forward to going to school everyday, and feels bored when there school is off for the weekend. I
never thought this day would come! Millions of thanks!!!

This application has huge potential! In our case, our daughter has Down syndrome. Her speech is often unclear to others, she forgets words, and she gets mixed up between similar words. However, she's fantastic at identifying pictures & loves looking at them just for fun. This tool is a great way to help her both develop language and be understood by others. The main limitation for us, as someone previously mentioned, is that you can't create new categories - you're stuck with the 9 categories chosen by the developers. Once this feature is added, it will be much more customizable to meet the needs of individual users, many of whom may not be able to make use of the spelling of a word to find the word they need. If you could modify the categories, you could start out by making a really simple, limited category/vocabulary system for users who need that, and modify it to be more and more complex as the user improves in their language ability and skill using the ap. This tool represents an exciting new era, in which technology is "changing the picture" for people with disabilities & other challenges. Thank you!

Simple and work well

My little brother's been using Voice4u and he hasn't let go of it ever since he started using it.
It's pretty awesome and all the pictures are cool and easy to look at.
The system is easy to use and to learn (I learned the basics it in a few seconds! There's nothing complicated with it,) so I can help my brother with making icons instead of going over manuals and trying to learn how to type something into an oversized device that can't even pronounce anything the way we want.
It also makes carrying things around a lot easier. My brother's old speaking device was the size of a small laptop, and was immensely heavy and annoying to carry around everywhere. But now, since the device is compacted into the small iPod Touch, it's a hundred times lighter and also looks much cooler to carry around everywhere. (When my brother carried around his old device, everyone tried to take his device and tried to use it because it looked so "special".)
