Would this actually be enough to make you place the call yourself?

Would this actually be enough to make you place the call yourself?

This is just a question from a developer, so please take it that way. Take a look at this.

I’m currently trying to figure out how people like us can actually make a phone call on our own when we want or need to, instead of having someone else make the call for us.

So here’s what I’m wondering: do you have access to two phones or devices?

If you put the actual call on speaker on one device, and used the other one to play what you want to say, with AI helping you prepare the message beforehand, would that be enough for you to actually make the call yourself?

I don’t just mean “would it make phone calls easier?” I mean, would you actually be able to bring yourself to make the call, or would you still not do it?

When speaking is hard, two or three keywords can be enough

Hi everyone. I’m the developer of Vocal Proxy, a communication support app for teens and adults.

Sometimes you know what you want to communicate, but speaking is difficult—and typing a full sentence can feel like another barrier.

With the updated Rewrite feature, you can enter just two or three keywords:

Vocal Proxy turns them into several natural message options. Pick one, edit it if needed, then show it in large text or play it aloud.

No grammar or full sentence required.

For situations where you need to communicate more detailed information, the Prepare feature is still available to help organize what you need to say into a longer message before the interaction.

It is not meant to pressure anyone to speak—just to make communication easier in the moment.

Free browser version, no sign-up required:

Could you help me make this more useful for us?

I honestly think using our own voices is best whenever we can. Let’s keep working on that. But there are times when speaking is brutally hard, right?

I have a voice disorder myself, and I’ve been working on this for moments like that. I’m still improving it.

Could you try it and tell me honestly whether it could help during a difficult block? If not, what doesn’t work, and what would need to change? I want to make it genuinely useful for us.

I made an app to help people prepare for difficult conversations

I have selective mutism myself, and I’ve struggled with getting through everyday conversations and appointments.

So I built an app that helps you prepare what to say before going somewhere, then show or speak each message when needed.

At first glance, it may look like a regular AAC app, but its main feature is the Prepare button. You enter where you’re going and what you need to do, answer a few simple questions, and it creates a step-by-step script for the conversation.

You can try the web demo here:

I’d appreciate it if you could tell me whether it seems useful for people with selective mutism. Any feedback about what you liked, disliked, or found confusing would also help.

The web version is only a demo and does not support subscriptions. For regular use, the app is available on Google Play
