Description
Speak for Yourself is an application designed by two speech language pathologists specializing in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) with an evidence-based foundation. This application is consistent with motor learning principles, uses a word-based vocabulary of the most frequently used words in communication, and contains features important in developing automaticity and language. Individuals learn to use their communication device with the same principles they use to play an instrument or type on a keyboard. Speak for Yourself has the capability to begin with one word, but contains almost 11,000 Smarty Symbols® and allows the user the potential to access almost 14,000 words, with no more than two touches to say a word. Complex page navigation and scanning are eliminated to allow fast, consistent access to language! Powered by CereProc's speech system to give our voices character, emotion, and personality.
With the release of version 2.3, users can choose to include voice options from Acapela Text-To-Speech from Acapela Group through in-app purchasing.
Regardless of their current language level, this application can meet people where they are and provide language for a lifetime, because it’s a basic human right to Speak for Yourself.

Version history
4.3
2023-04-20
This version updates the symbols to high definition Smarty Symbols(R)!
First, no vocabulary has been harmed in the creation of this update.
Every word in the app is still in the exact same place as it has been since the app was released in 2011. If you’ve moved and added words, your individual vocabulary will also be in the exact same place.
BUT the symbols are changing. As much as possible, we’ve chosen the high definition equivalent to the existing symbols. If that wasn’t possible, we chose the new Smarty Symbol for the word.
We know a lot of people are sensitive to change, and we haven’t taken that lightly. We’ve updated the symbols for 3 main reasons.
1. Diversity
Barbara Fernandes and the wonderful Smarty Symbols team have created characters to allow for more diverse skin tones and ages. It’s long overdue for us to include this new symbol library.
2. High definition quality
The new symbols are crisp and clear and also allow for better quality screen shots and printed materials. These new symbols will also match the symbol library on the Smarty Symbol website. So, if you’re looking to create support materials, you can search by the category or file name of the SfY symbol to find them on the Smarty Symbols website.
3. Larger symbol library
This update increases the symbol library from 11,000 to 31,000 symbols. You can still take pictures and choose photos from your camera roll, but now there are an additional 20,000 symbols to choose from as well.

1. Words in a message now may be edited. To edit a message, long-press or double-tap a word to display a cursor to the right of the word, then add or delete words. After speaking an utterance, the cursor is positioned automatically at the end of the utterance and hidden.
2. Separate play/pause and stop buttons replace the single play/pause button to make it easier to control speech.
3. Added a button to hide/show the navigation bar on late-model iPhones that have notches. The previous swipe gestures work as before.
4. "Squished" is automatically renamed to "squirted" when fetching all existing vocabularies and when restoring the factory vocabulary.This was a weird typo that we fixed.
5. When the “I” core word is linked to a second page, selecting “i” on the second page results in displaying an upper case “I” in the message.
6. Documents such as the Programming Guide and AACtion Plan now display in the familiar QuickLook interface that displays thumbnails for navigation, allows searching, markup, printing, and saving a copy of the document outside of SfY.
7. Restored proper behavior of Manual Whisper Mode.
8. Editing history is now available! Vocabulary added or deleted is now logged to History.
9. When exporting History data, History data entries that don’t have an associated word, such as turning Babble on or off, should leave the first column empty, but did not. This has been fixed.
10. SfY 4.2 requires iOS 13.0 or above.
11. Various bug fixes and minor improvements.

Still the best for so many users!
I still think this is the very best app for effective communication for so many users.
Liz3033,
Really works!
I bought this for my son who was 3 at the time. I had heard that these kinds of apps and augmentive tools would help increase his speech. I didn’t really believe it and bought the app for the whole reason of him being able to “say” what was in his head. Within months he had a language explosion for the first time ever! He was attempting words and sounds he never had before. And it was easy to find which words would be motivating for him because he could tell us!
krm1244,
User friendly
I am a parent of a nonverbal child. We have tried different APPs and this one is by far the easiest to use and model. I love the babble function and the search function. We purchased a voice that suits our son. We purchased a key guard as well to separate the buttons for our son with cerebral palsy.
DreamingWoman2017,
Asked for a refund but changed my mind
Help!! My grandson uses this app regularly and I wanted this on my phone as well. We love this app. My grandson is 8 years old, non verbal. He knows sign and uses this app regularly. It is so worth the money. The school purchased this app for him on his device loaned from the school. I just wanted my own for my phone. My daughter says we shouldn’t need 2
LogansaurusRexMom,
Motor planning perks
Our favorite thing is that my 8 year old can use this in each grade and it’s so functional that even people (teachers) who have never used AAC before can manage it just fine.
Buttons also do not move between pages unlike LAMP and that was very important to us being that my son has apraxia of speech. His issues deal solely with motor planning.
Lastly, customer service is insanely accessible. I was genuinely surprised when I needed help when we first got the app.
We have had the app for three years now and I still actively recommend it to other parents within our Apraxia community.

Greatest app
Without this app my two non verbal sons would not have a voice. And thank you for the search feature and simplistic motor plan

Life changer
This app changed our family's life. Love it!
misshollyjean,
Correction please!
I was just looking through different apps for communication. I went to download the lite version, bumped the wrong key, it just downloaded without my password! Three hundred, I cannot afford. I wanted to try the lite version and if I liked it, insurance would cover it. I need an app but cannot afford this. Help! Please help!
Jessie'sMom,
Finally, a system that is user friendly and grows with the child
The first 5 months: Within the first week, she was able to tell us a complete thought. She commented on a movie and was excited that she could find the words! Our daughter had a Dynavox for about 10 years. She used it less and less over time. Therapists thought that she just didn't have much to say. What they didn't realize is that the multi layers to access the words made using the device too complicated and slow. What we love about SFY is that it isn't pre-programmed speech (even though you can do that), but due to the babble feature, she can find the word she wants to use. She likes to emphasize with words like "exceptional" or "annoying". She found these words on her own and added them to her vocabulary. What makes this most remarkable is that she didn't get this device till she was 21. We are seeing a transformation in her. She is no longer isolated and forced to have one way conversations. As a parent, to hear "Mom, I love you" was pretty awesome.
Finally, someone thought outside of the box and created something that user friendly, actually grows with a person and is affordable.
Jess is now 25 she has not stopped talking!

Looks like Chinese bloatware compared to PODD Compass.
