As a person living with ALS, I rely on apps like this to communicate. this app integrates with iOS really nicely to offer the best quality speech with Eleven Labs voice clones.
I never this app with a dedicated Listener—I just use it to speak. My only suggestion is to move the ‘add a listener’ button to the top of the screen so it doesn’t get triggered by my eye-gaze system when I’m typing out text.
Super easy to use as a Listener! And can’t imagine life without it, allows me to communicate with friend with ALS who can no longer speak. Typing sound allows me to know when my friend is speaking, even when not looking at my device
Whisper facilitates spoken conversations between users who know each other, and who have other means of communication (messaging, email, etc.) by which a Whisperer can send a conversation URL to a Listener.
As with other spoken conversations, a Listener who joins a Whisper-assisted conversation has no access to what the Whisperer may have typed before they joined.
The app keeps no personally identifiable information about any user, and the memory of which conversations a Whisperer has created or a Listener has participated in is kept in app-secure storage on their device.
Listener devices remember prior conversations, so sending a URL is only needed the first time a Listener wants to join a particular conversation.
Whispered content cannot be copied by Listeners, and when the Whisperer leaves a conversation everything they "said" is immediately erased from all Listener devices.
