SpeakEasy is an easy to use Android communication aid (sometimes call AAC - Augmentative and Alternative Communication) for people who have difficulty communicating with voice. I wrote it for my Mum, who has Motor Neurone Disease (MND, also known in other parts of the world as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease).

When you type, it tries to match against previously spoken phrases, and enters anything spoken into the database, with a usage count. The more you use a phrase, the higher up it appears in the prediction list, meaning that frequently used phrases require fewer key strokes.

It has an intuitive, simple interface, but there are also some menu options and settings for things like auto clearing the text field, auto-starting at boot, Text-To-Speech (TTS) settings, changing the font size, removing a phrase from the database and so on.

It works best with a hardware keyboard (I used a Logitech Keys-To-Go) but a software keyboard should also work well. Hardware keyboards may be easier for someone with motor difficulties as there tends to be less 'dragging' across the keyboard, which can be a problem with touch screen keyboards.

I hope someone else finds it useful.

非法经营是一个易于使用Android通信辅助设备（有时也叫AAC  - 辅助和替代性交流），谁拥有的困难和语音通信的人。我写了我的妈妈，谁拥有运动神经元疾病（MND，作为肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症或卢伽雷氏病世界其他地方也叫）。

当您键入，它会尝试匹配以前的讲话短语，并进入任何口头到数据库中，以使用计数。你越是用一个短语，最多出现在列表中的预测更高，这意味着常用短语需要更少的击键。

它有一个直观的，简单的界面，但也有一些菜单选项和设置，如自动东西清除文本字段，自动开始启动，文本到语音转换（TTS）设置，更改字体大小，删除短语从数据库等。

它的工作原理最好用硬件键盘（我用的是罗技的按键用型），但软件键盘也应该很好地工作。因为有趋于在键盘，其可以是具有触摸屏的键盘的问题少“拖”硬件键盘可能有人用马达的困难会更容易。

我希望别人发现它是有用的。
