MyVoice app enables speech!

This is awesome!!!!  Two students at the University of Toronto have developed an app which is helping give voice to individuals with disabilities who are nonverbal.  The MyVoice app now has more than 12,000 users worldwide.  The app allows individuals to type sentences that are then relayed using computer-generated speech.  The app also features GPS technology that allows the generation of vocabulary that is unique to a user's location! The app is available through the APP Store and is $189.00 and is designed for iPhone and iPad.
