What we’re exploring
SaySoTalker is free and built by one parent, so this isn’t a promise list. It’s what we’re thinking about next. Real families and SLPs shape what actually gets built.
Likely soon
Things that are clearly worth doing and are near the front of the queue.
Editing a button you already made
Change a button’s word, picture, or photo without deleting it and starting again. At the moment fixing a typo means making the button over, and for a photo button that means finding the photo again.
Hearing a voice before you choose it
A button that plays a sample, so you can hear what a voice sounds like while you are choosing rather than after.
A printable version of your board
Your board on paper, for the times a device isn’t available (a flat battery, the swimming pool, a hospital ward), and for people who work with your child but don’t have the app.
Ideas we’re considering
Worth doing, less certain, and more likely to change shape before they are built, or to be dropped if nobody actually needs them.
Searching your own board
A quick way for a grown-up to find which page a word is on, without going through the categories looking for it.
More than one board on a device
Separate boards for home and school, or for two children sharing a tablet, without one setup overwriting the other.
More languages
SaySoTalker is English only today. Other languages are a much bigger job than they look, because the words, the pictures, and the recorded voices all have to change together. It is still something we would like to reach.
Tell us what you actually need
If you use SaySoTalker with a child, or you are an SLP who has watched somebody use it, what you tell us matters more than anything on this page. A request from someone using it every day will jump the queue over an idea we thought of ourselves.
