can you please post some screen shots and the steps to reproduce the problem in the forum under bugs please?
Thanks in advance!
Jens
some devices have a "mute" switch on the side. Please make sure this is set to ON
Can you try to uninstall and reinstall the app? We had cases where this helped.
we can only translate, if you use images out of the 9000 we ship with LetMeTalk.
If you "rename" it or you are adding your own text, then it will not be translated.
Since we ship translations for our images but can not know the translations for renamed/your images, there is not much we can do about it :/
you can find the voice support page here: http://letmetalk.info/2-uncategorised/31-tutorial-11-voice-support.html
Catalan is only supported by Acapela: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acapelagroup.android.tts
I hope this could help :)
Jens
are you using iOS or Android?
Same problem with us.
-is there a way to insert a group of pictures at once (instead one by one)?
- can we get the name by using the filename? without the extension of filename e.g. jpg?
- can we get a directory full of pictures and loaded into the programme?
Sorry, both is not possible.
Anyway, you have to do this only once, even if you want to give it to many students:
Just create it once, save the profile (in the settings) and then give this profile to every student
Quote:Not yet, but that sounds like a good idea, so I added it to my TODO list :)
which language and which plattform (iOS/Android)?
Normally it should "just work". Have you looked at the Voices tutorial already?
http://letmetalk.info/2-uncategorised/31-tutorial-11-voice-support.html
Which plattform, iOS or Android?
But we will add it one day!
Jens
Do you want to change the category image? there are 2 ways to do it!
1. make a long click on the interim catImage and chose "search new category image".
2. if the image is already in the category (otherwise add it before), make a long click on the wanted image and chose "Use image for this category"
I hope this could help
I am not sure if I understand your question.
You can always add new stuff (images, categories) with the PLUS (+) sign in the upper right corner. You can also long click on an image and then "rename" the image/categorie, which allows you to change the text.
I hope this helps :)
Hello Dee,
it seems to be impossible right now. I will add this to the next version.
For me as a german both version of english sound pretty much the same so I did not notice :/
Hello Lorie,
can you please tell me, which speech engine you are using? You can see this in the settings.
Are you using the latest version of LetMeTalk (1.3.8)? We once fixed a bug around this so an upgrade might help :) You can see the LetMeTalk version in the "about" page
Thanks
sorry, thats currently not possible.
we are currently thinking about something like this in the future, but I can not tell you when!
iOS: sorry, it is not possible yet, but it is very high in our TODO list
Quoting bailee:
Please see http://letmetalk.info/blog/51-using-external-buttons-for-scanning-in-letmetalk-android.html for instructions how to do scanning.
I hope this helps :)

Hello ddssjn,
you probably have a separate "Menu" button on the device. Press this.
Devices which were designed with Android 2.x in mind had a special button for the menu.
The menu icon in the upper right corner was introduced in Android4.x, but does only show up if there is NO menu button!
Is it still too fast with the latest version (1.3.12 or higher)? We set the speed to something which should be pretty slow (2/3 of default speed). This was recently changed!
it seems to be impossible for us to use the settings one can set in the Accessibility settings, which would be most comfortable.
I guess we will made a slider in a future version!
I have version 1.3.12. I can try to reinstall to see if that helps. My company is giving a training to families of children with autism today and this is one app we are presenting on as one we highly suggest using. I would love to be able to demonstrate it in a normal sounding voice. The current rate of speed is not functional and would not be well received.
I can try to find the time to work on it. Can you please send me your apple id to contact
Another thing: the talking speed seems to be different from device to device. Maybe another iPad / iPhone works fine? I just know that our devices are rather too slow then too fast with the new code (which you have too) :)
Hello Tania,
you would need a Text2Speech engine for Android, which is able to speak Galician.
Sadly I did not find one in a quick search, but maybe someone else has more success?
Good luck!
I did fix this problem and added a setting for adjusting the speech rate. It will appear in the next version!
The accent (british english, US english) should depend on the region. If you go to "settings -> General -> Language&Region -> Region" to "United States" LetMeTalk should use US english!
Jens
I work with your app as a speech and language therapist.
I do have a patient who would benefit from the setting that automatically let you switch back to the main category after choosing an icon.
Such a function exists in the german android version, called "zurück zur hauptkategorie". My patient has an apple iPad. In the settings of his ios-app I could not find this function.
Where is it in the ios version of the app? It really would help a lot!
Thanx for your answer!
somehow that function got forgotten for iOS... ;)
I will put it on the TODO list and will try to add it as fast as possible.
But don't hold your breath: we are talking here about weeks or months, not days.
If it is really useful, he might think about getting some cheap Android device for the interim time?
Greetings,
Jens
We currently do not know the reason for this.
You might want to follow the following work arround:
It is not easy but doable...
0. make sure your store your current profiles somewhere safe, e.g. other device or your computer.
1. really exit LetMeTalk:
- press the HOME button
- beside the HOME button you usually find some other icon which lists all running apps. With a swipe of LetMeTalk you can really exit it!
2. open a filemanager (you find many in the playstore. One example is Astro, but there are others)
3. go to SDCARD -> Android -> data -> de.appnotize.letmetalk -> files
3. remove the files Main.db3, User.db3, Searchindex.db3, Arasaac/images.lmt (files taken from brain, names might differ a bit)
If you want to help me, can you please look at the file properties and give me the exact filesizes of these files?
4. restart LetMeTalk
It should work now fine.
Please send me to the filesizes and if it this works.
Hello Michalon,
I expect you use iOS? (please ALWAYS mention your OS).
We can only ask you for a few days of patience.
Last saturday we uploaded a version which has a setting for adjusting the speech rate.
That version is currently in the Apple approval process and if it goes through, it should appear in the App Store early next week or maybe even late this week :)
Greetings,
Jens
the new version is now available in the iOS app store. Please update and go to the LetMeTalk settings. Here you should now find a way to adjust the speech rate to your liking :)
Hello Leidy,
we have not changed anything. I do not think that our pre shipped categories are any different then they were before. Can you please go to "LetMeTalk Settings -> Load Profile" and load the "LetMeTalkPreConfiguration" profile and see yourself?
I do not know if you create your own profiles for your clients, but they should not have changed too.
if I misunderstood you, please describe your problem with some more details. Thanks!
Greetings,
Jens
Est il possible de passer facilement d'un profil a un autre ? Car je travail avec plusieurs enfants qui n'ont pas le même niveau....
Merci d'avance
Yes, you can. LetMeTalk was designed to make it easy to switch fast between different profiles.
Make sure your current profile is stored. Then just go to the LetMeTalk Setting -> Load Profiles and choose one. And another one, and another one ;)
Jens
The Portuguese we are using is the translation from the Arasaac project, so we can not do much about it, as long you do not want to go through the 9000+ images and fix the translations.
Can you please tell me, what kind of device you use, Android or iOS?
Another usefull thing would be 2-3 examples with strange words (what we show and what it should be).
Thanks!
Greetings,
Jens
Thanks you
Hello,
Please look at http://letmetalk.info/tutorials/80-tutorial-11-how-to-use-letmetalk-profiles-on-iphone-and-ipad.html
You first have to bring it from deviceA to your PC/Mac and then transfer it from there to deviceB.
Please note that the profiles are compatible between Android and iOS :)
Jens
I do not understand, why the images / categories disappear. This should not happen, except you uninstall the app or you load a different profile!
Please do a backup ALWAYS when you are finished with configuring images/categories. For this please go to "LetMeTalk-Settings -> Store Profile" and store the profile. Then please make sure it is on a different device, for example by touching the "share" icon beside the profile name and send it via email to your email account.
When the config disappear just reload the profile and everything should be fine again :)
I hope this helped!
Hello Julie,
Please look at http://letmetalk.info/tutorials/80-tutorial-11-how-to-use-letmetalk-profiles-on-iphone-and-ipad.html for informations how to get the profile on your iPad.
Both versions are recent, but the Android version is more mature and has more features.
We add more and more at the iOS version. For example we added the "autoremove after sentence" and "autoreturn to main menu" in an internal build which will be available soon :)
Anyway, I can not predict when both versions will be on parity but we are working on it!
Jens
Not completely yet.
If you have a speech engine with Swedish (for example acapella) you can activate the Swedish voice by choosing "Swedish" in the "other languages" menu.
The app still looks English and you have to search the words in English. But you can translate them by "rename" the images. Now the device should speak your Swedish words with Swedish voice
If you want to have full blown Swedish support, you can translate everything to Swedish, but it is quite some work (9000+ images, UI...). Just ask me and I will send you the stuff including instructions.
In short: version 1.4.1 should be out VERY soon (already uploaded to store a few hours ago) and hopefully fixes you problem :)
please look at your emails.
you can go to the LetMeTalk settings and change the icon size (the last settings down the list).
Can you please describe the app you need? For me it sounds like a normal contact list where you can change the size...
no, but you can rename the images to let the existing voice say whatever you want :)
Thank you,
Diogo
can you please describe your problem better, so I can try to reproduce it? Maybe on the Contact Page?http://www.letmetalk.info/contact.html
Thank you!
You're program is superb and your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Quoting Pauline Lawson:'
What do you mean by this? You can store the full "profiles" in the settings.
Quote:this is not possible and I do not really see a use for this. Why do you need this?
Quote:Thank you :)
can you please read this: http://www.letmetalk.info/tutorials/83-tutorial-12-voice-troubleshooting-for-ios.html
I hope this help
Hello Hernan,
this would be ALOT of work and I am afraid it won't be done in the short term.
I hope you still like the app :)
Quoting Joel:
I do not really understand your question. When does the picture disappear?
If you choose a sentence, press play and then it disappears, then disable setting for "Autoremove Sentence".
If it disappears after pressing the icon long in the sentence bar then it is expected behaviour which so far can not be changed. Just press it for a shorter time.
If it disappears when choosing it from the category, then it is a bug which has to be fixed. But I never encountered anything like this!
Hello Gisele,
we currently do not offer this functionality.
It would also be slower performance wise, but with todays devices this should not matter.
Can you describe me, which symbols should be available? A cross and something with shadow (for stuff which is in the past). Something else?
Greetings,
Jens
You can "disable the sentence bar" or "disable the action bar" in the settings.
Please try these options. I think you mean one of both
We will try to add code for rotating the image, but I can not promise you anything in terms of time frame. I currently do not have much time to work on LMT sadly :(
Hello,
Was wondering if you have had the chance to add code to rotate the photos in Android version. Many of the personalized photos we have added of family and friends are sideways or upside down making it very difficult for my client with disabilities to make an accurate selection and communicate. This has been an ongoing issue since February. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In the settings you can enable "Password protection". This makes it possible for you to protect the settings.
You can also disable "Enable modifications".
I hope this helps
Muchas gracias, la aplicación es muy útil.
Voice should work, as long you are using a language Apple ships a voice with. Can you please give me the language you are using and the region/country the device is set to?
You can save the profile (your categories and images) and use them on other devices. Please look this tutorial: http://www.letmetalk.info/tutorials/80-tutorial-11-how-to-use-letmetalk-profiles-on-iphone-and-ipad.html
with Android you can choose the Messenger. If you use this it should send the sentence in one message / Email.
The larger printer manufactures do have printer software for Android. Install the fitting one.
If you kept your messenger at the "Chooser" default the printer software should be displayed. Choose it and then it depends on the software how you can print it :)
I tried to send some words with my iphone 7, but it didn't work. If I press in the send button the screen becomes a bit grey for a second and nothig more happens. With my iPad 3 everythig works-it runs on iOS 9.3.5. My iphone runs in iOS 10.3.1.
Clan you help me please?
Thx

You can disable the sentence bar in the settings. You can also customize the behaviour of the app just to your liking, for example when it speaks something :)
please disable "Allow modifications" in the settings. This should do the job.
When you want to change something, you need to enable this option for a short moment of course :)
