About the solution
Zach said he had seen other apps that turn a picture into a spoken phrase, but never one that actually texts it. So he built iCanText – an app that allows the girl to express herself and communicate with people that are not next to her.
“So I built an app that uses basically illustrated pictures to turn those into text and to be able to text anyone that she wanted to send a text to, like her mom,” the inventor explained.
Bethany was unable to walk, but now uses a walker. She is also learning to speak more, but she is still mostly non-verbal.
With this mobile application, the girl will be able to say she’s hungry, “I love you”, etc., even if someone is not in the same room.
The free app was available in the iTunes store for iPhone and iPad. It started with only about nine phrases, but Zach said he was planning to add more. He asked people who download the app to send him constructive feedback through the email address listed in the app description.
