MyVoice
I just learned of a new Canadian-made app for people with communication problems, called My Voice .
It looks really promising and I hope to be able to try it out.
The app is free for the next 6 months.
From the news article:
“One of the most devastating aspects of aphasia is its potential to isolate someone because they can no longer communicate as they once did,” said Dr. Alexandra Carling-Rowling, who is leading research into the app’s possible benefits for the Aphasia Institute, Toronto Rehab and Sunnybrook Hospital.
“They can lose their communicative confidence and they lose their ability to participate as they used to. But with MyVoice, they don’t have to constantly rely on a family member, they can go out and do things for themselves.”
MyVoice, created by a team based out of the University of Toronto’s computer science department, is designed to do the job of much more expensive devices designed to assist with communication.
