Improving the Thy Voice AAC Tool

A month on from its original release, I’ve made a number of significant changes to improve the usability of the app.

Firstly the app is now a system-wide AAC tool, not just for phone calls but using local audio to conduct conversations in-person.

Secondly, I’ve added the ability to select the voice you use with Thy Voice. This is significant because you may wish to use a different voice when you are talking than when your PC is talking to you. I’m still looking into whether there is any chance we can use the Natural voices which are available with Narrator but don’t currently show up in the system for other apps using speech synthesis.

Finally, to emphasise its wider uses, the app has a new icon and a few other visual tweaks.

You can get the app through the Microsoft Store. I’m always interested in further feedback on how to make the app easier, and useful for as many users as possible.
