@turi@social.vivaldi.net wow, this is… generous, and it's the least I can say. And caring about screen readers is hugely appreciated.

@turi@social.vivaldi.net Is there support for deaf people? Does it read the selected text aloud?

@turi@social.vivaldi.net no Alt Text on image. Lack of #accessibility in posts may mean members of disability communities are less inclined to engage, no matter how well intended your offering

@turi@social.vivaldi.net On a mobile device that popover makes the page unusable. Also, the headline probably shouldn‘t block the upper half of the screen.

@turi@social.vivaldi.net fantastic, congrats. Suggestion: double language settings, interface & output. So someone can go to Germany, type options in Spanish, and the voice speaks German. It would be easy for the pre-defined basic messages (phase 1), but require more development to work with typed input (phase 2, but surely there are resources to integrate automated translation there). cc-ing this to Basque voice / translation hackers @urtzai@mastodon.eus and @xezpeleta@mastodon.eus to check if our language might be added

@turi@social.vivaldi.net Good work. From a software development point of view may want to try relying on it for your own communication for a bit. I imagine you would find out real quick that having 'I'm in Pain' and 'I need help' should be toward the top and more quickly accessible than 'please' and 'thank you' which are nice to have but aren't communicating anything urgent.

@turi@social.vivaldi.net My goodness that’s brilliant. It would be very welcome in the ICU and rehab communities I used to work in. I hope it gets the attention it deserves. Thank you for a great contribution.

@turi@social.vivaldi.net I know naming is hard, but you may want to consider a different name. It's kind of hard to say and may not be easy to communicate to other people in everyday contexts. Just a thought.

@turi@social.vivaldi.net This is brilliant, good job. And good suggestions that I can't really add to much Except maybe the more statements the better, maybe in a tiered system of need. 👍

@turi@social.vivaldi.net First of all, thank you for creating humanism preserving FLOSS. My suggestions on how to make it better, is simpe but depends on resources and time: my suggestion would be : make it federated :) ActivityPub is the protocol we speak here and it could be sets of ActivityPub Questions. Think of the "Poll" in mastodon but any Question can be open or "anyOf" as well. We do similar things for fedi, described it here in this unfortunately mixed language doc https://codeberg.org/Menschys/fedi-codebase It will become 2 documents later, menschys is our app for mutual help …

@turi@social.vivaldi.net this is a really cool app. Could prove really useful for people who are struggling to speak for whatever reason. I tested it out with NVDA and it all works fine. I like the custom messages feature. Just struggling to find where I can download it? There doesn't appear to be a download button or link on the webpage.

@FiXato@toot.cat 2026-02-26 15:49
@turi@social.vivaldi.net I'd need to actually use it for a bit to give in-depth suggestions, but a thing that directly came to mind was to perhaps sort the options on collapsible categories? Could be as simple as a summary/details per category. Things like "I need" (help, water, medicine, etc), "greetings" (hello, goodbye, how are you), "interjections" (yes, no, maybe, why, how, okay, stop, continue). Perhaps not as necessary atm, but if you were to add more phrases it would soon help find the right response. Though you might end up with duplication of phrases. Also, I could see a bar with most used / most recently used phrases become useful too if you are a regular user.

@turi@social.vivaldi.net Very nice! Have you seen the old system called 'Dasher'? I don't think it's maintained any more but it was a very powerful system which let you any phrase with a joystick or similar; it might give some ideas: https://www.bltt.org/software/dasher/ https://www.inference.org.uk/dasher/DasherSummary.html

@turi@social.vivaldi.net Thank you so much for your work. As I am gradually losing my speech following a stroke, this type of application will be very useful to me in a few years' time. Take care
