Proloquo4Text provides a diverse selection of voices to choose from. It includes premium Acapela voices at no additional cost, ensuring natural-sounding speech. Users can also download specialty voices to add personalization and humor to their conversations. With over 100 voices available in 18 languages, users have the freedom to select a voice that best represents them.

The app offers various ways to share text-based content such as email, messages, and tweets directly from Proloquo4Text.

Furthermore, the app enables users to make phone and FaceTime video calls for seamless communication.

Proloquo4Text is available on both iOS and macOS platforms, allowing users to have their voice at their fingertips on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, and Mac devices.
