Talking Hurts — a tap-to-speak communication aid

Field notes

The tool builds a personal phrase bank from sentences the user has already spoken, then surfaces those phrases as one-tap suggestions. Contexts include home, shops, cafés, medical appointments, and a persistent Help area, with saved-place switching available at selectable distance thresholds. Its data model stays in browser storage, while backups are exported and imported manually. The page also describes an optional roughly 60 MB Piper neural voice that can be downloaded for offline speech.
