The goal of the present study is to introduce a speaking interface of mobile devices for speech impaired people. The latest
devices (including PDAs with integrated telephone, Smartphones, Tablet PCs) possess numerous favorable features: small size,
portability, considerably fast processor speed, increased storage size, telephony, large display and convenient development
environment. The majority of vocally handicapped users are elderly people who are often not familiar with computers. Many
of them have other disorder(s) (e.g. motor) and/or impaired vision. The paper reports the design and implementation aspects
of converting standard devices into a mobile speaking aid for face-to-face and telephone conversations. The device can be
controlled and text is input by touch-screen and the output is generated by a text-to-speech system. The interface is configurable
(screen colors and text size, speaking options, etc.) according to the users’ personal preferences.
