About TypeOut
TypeOut is an AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) app that lets people who cannot speak communicate two ways: typed text is enlarged and flipped so a conversation partner can read it right-side up without handing over the phone, and spoken words are automatically transcribed into large, readable text with line breaks after pauses. It includes a private diary mode that auto-locks on exit, 12 visual themes including a high-contrast option, customizable phrase categories, and the ability to use personal photos as avatars -- photo processing stays on-device. It's aimed at people with permanent or temporary speech disabilities, or anyone in a situation where speaking isn't possible; data (phrases, audio, settings) can be exported to move between devices.
