About the solution

“I've had some very positive feedback from users and speech therapists alike. The main objective is to provide an affordable but professional solution to everyone. I have no intention of stopping development. I will continue to improve and implement features. This project is so close to my heart because I actually use the application every day”, Owen explained.

SayIt! Consist of an augumentative and alternative communication app that uses a functioning word prediction system that works by allowing the patient to type what they want to say at a fast rate.

The developers spent four years working on the app, which was released in 2017.

The app is free and is available for iOS and Android.
