Freespeech

A free program designed to help people who are non-verbal.

Why Was This Created?

Freespeech was created in response to the few programs out there for non-verbal people that all cost upwards of $200 to $300. As a sibling of a non-verbal sister, I understand that these heavy costs can be big investments for families, especially ones that are not in the financial position to spend that kind of money. I hope Freespeech can get to the point where it can be a viable alternative to the other expensive apps out there. My goal is to help people communicate without a hefty cost.

Many people requested to donate to the project. I'd first recommend you donate to the Make A Wish charity as they gave my Sister, Della, a wish. If you feel inclined to donate to me and the development of this project, feel free to support me on ko-fi. I am trying to buy myself a new computer as I am currently developing off my parent's laptop. Any money left over after expenses will go to Make A Wish.

What can run this program and what is its purpose?

This can currently only be ran in web browsers such as chrome and firefox however it will in the future be supported as an IOS and Android applications. This program was created to help non-verbal people and allows the use of a series of buttons to produce sentences that allow them to communicate easily. It also provides a base that the users can modify to help them communicate with ease.

What is the plan for the future?

The program is always evolving and so the future development ideas can be found in the issues section under the issues enhancement tab.

How do I use the program?

The web site for the program is up and useable, you can find it here.
