SayItForMeLite app for iPhone and iPad

The SayItForMeLite app is the free version of the SayItForMe app. This app is intended for those who are challenged with impaired speech, limited or no eye sight, and limited manual dexterity. It is particularly useful when a person is in a medical, acute care, or sub-acute care facility and has difficulty communicating with the staff. It requires the VoiceOver feature and contains 9 fixed messages, plus "No", "Yes", and "Stop". The messages cannot be customized. [See the SayItForMe app for the ability to customize the messages.]

SayItForMe utilizes the VoiceOver feature of the Apple® iOS devices: iPad, iPhone, iPod touch. This version was tested on iOS 5.x on the iPad 2, iPhone 4 and 3GS, iPod touch. The app can be used in any device orientation.

The app contains 9 large squares, each containing a message and optionally additional text. Touching a square causes VoiceOver to say the message and any additional text set for that square.



At the bottom are 3 smaller rectangles which are "No", "Yes", and "Stop" in that order. Touching the smaller rectangles causes VoiceOver to say the associated word.



The app responds to a shake gesture by playing an siren-like sound and a recording saying "Help me now". A subsequent shake turns off the alert. Note: there is no guarantee that the sound level of the device will be high enough to be heard.
