Speech Forward keeps the words you use most close at hand. Show a phrase in large type, or let your phone say it aloud. When you have a quiet minute, practise short scripts for moments you can see coming, like a doctor's visit.

In the moment
From needing a word to being understood.
When speaking is hard, every extra step matters. Speech Forward keeps your own phrases one tap away, can step through choices for you, and lets you show or say them without hurrying.
My Phrases: tap a sentence to say it. Android development build, sample phrases. Choose without tapping
App scanning moves through the choices one at a time. Select the one you want, move on, or pause and resume when you're ready.

App scanning, paused on No, with Select, Next and Resume. Android development build, checked on an emulator. Show it, or say it
Choose a phrase and it fills the screen, large enough to read across a table. Or press Speak and your device says it in its own voice. Try the idea below.

Where it stands
In development.
Speech Forward is in development and isn't available yet. The screens come from Android development builds with sample phrases, several checked on an emulator. Speaking uses your phone's own text-to-speech voices, which a picture can't show.
Speech Forward is not a medical device or a substitute for professional care. It does not diagnose, and it does not promise recovery.
