Why upgrade to Spoken Premium?

Enjoying Spoken? Spoken Premium grants unlimited access to features that are unavailable or restricted after your trial has expired. Communication essentials will always remain free, but there are a few benefits to upgrading:

Features of Spoken Premium

Personalized Predictions

Spoken Premium learns from the way you talk and offers suggestions unique to you, personalizing your experience and helping you sound more like yourself. You can also take a short survey to teach Spoken basic information about yourself so that it will suggest things like the names of loved ones or locations you frequent, making conversation more streamlined and personal.

Add Words

While Spoken can learn new words if you use them repeatedly, sometimes users want to add new vocabulary in bulk. Spoken knows over 60,000 words by default, but it might not know specialized terms from your hobbies or interests. The Add Words menu is a premium feature that allows you to teach Spoken as many words as you need. You can even paste in excerpts from articles and Spoken will extract any of these words it doesn’t already know. For ways you can use this feature to your advantage, see our article, Instantly Personalize Spoken with the New “Add Vocabulary” Feature.

Voices

While the free version limits you to your device’s built-in default voice, Premium gives you access to a robust selection of high-quality, realistic voices covering a variety of accents and identities. You can even customize their pitch and speed to make them sound exactly how you want.

Saved Phrases

Spoken Premium also comes with the ability to save phrases for future use. This is especially useful when it comes to phrases you might find yourself repeating often, like greetings, questions, or pleasantries. To get the most out of Spoken’s Saved Phrases, see How To Unlock the Full Potential of Spoken’s Saved Phrases.

Intelligent Writing Canvas

The writing canvas gives users who have trouble typing an alternative way to enter text. Spoken can understand your handwriting and will convert it to speech.

Intelligent Drawing Canvas

Trouble with word recall? Similar to the writing canvas, Spoken’s drawing canvas can recognize simple drawings and convert them into words. It’s especially helpful when you can visualize something but are having trouble thinking of its name.

We also have monthly and yearly payment plans available if you only need Spoken temporarily or are unsure about investing in a permanent license.

Do I Need Spoken Premium?

Spoken Premium is not required to use the app. Basic communication features are completely free and will remain that way. Spoken’s premium features merely enhance the experience of the app, especially in terms of personalization or customization. Spoken can still be a useful augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tool without upgrading.

How to Purchase Premium

We appreciate your interest in upgrading! Spoken Premium can be purchased in-app or through our website. It is available in a subscription format, or as a lifetime purchase. If you make the purchase through the official Spoken site, you will receive a code to redeem what you bought in the app.
