Helps patients transform slow or halting utterances into toasts, wedding proposals and speeches.

This new communication software is like a word-processor for spoken language, helping those with aphasia record and edit speech in their own voice. It's clinically proven to help patients speak better. Patients use it to transform halting, slow, unconfident utterances into wedding toasts, voice emails, spoken anecdotes and (in the Pro+Editing version), play them with personal photos in computer scrapbooks. Built-in therapy materials allow practice on different kinds of sentences of increasing complexity.
The patient observes cues (a photo, vocabulary buttons, a spoken model) or an empty workbook and then records their speech then arranges these recorded snippets into sentences and stories and can even play them back later to use the software as a communication aid or (in the Pro+Editing version) they can also play those back along side personal photos in computer scrapbooks.

graphic artist… He is in the process of building a custom set of
vocabulary terms in Sentence Shaper… Another gentleman is running for
councilman in his town. He is [using it] ...to help him develop
portions of his speeches, and prepare answers to questions that he
anticipates receiving. ” (Yes, he won the election) "
