Beautiful, Intuitive Design!

SpeakThat! features a modern, accessible interface that's both powerful and easy to use. Dark mode support, large touch targets, and clear visual feedback make setup a breeze.

SpeakThat! does not send your data anywhere unless you submit a bug report (and even then it's optional!) The app operates *entirely* on your device - no cloud processing, no data collection, no external servers. What happens on your phone, stays on your phone.

Accessibility Service

SpeakThat! can be granted the Accessibility service for increased reliability and some extra features enabling more ways to interact with ongoing readouts. This is entirely opt-in and not required for the app to function. It is a convenience feature for those who need it.

Perfect for accessibility, drivers & commuters, athletes & fitness enthusiasts busy professionals, parents and caregivers, and anyone who wants a smarter relationship with their phone.

Continuous Improvement

SpeakThat! is constantly adding new features and improvements based on user feedback. The perks of an app being made by someone who genuinely uses it every day!
