I want AAC with more inclusive, and specific voices.
Nonspeaking people need more flamboyant voices. Nonspeaking people need more POC voices. Nonspeaking people need more androgynous voices. Etc.
The best voice I could find for my device was Josh by Accapella, and dont get me wrong, I love it. But, a teenage sounding, androgynous, slightly flamboyant voice?? THAT is what I really really want. Josh was the best for me because it is relatively androgynous, and doesn't give cishet. But, a voice like the one I previously described would make me feel so euphoric, and comfortable with myself.
Can we pleeaaaase make inclusive voices for AAC and TTS in general?

AAC (app) user culture is laughing at some of the ways it pronounces non-words or abbreviations. (Like OwO or lol for example)
yess! Those always seem to get our names wrong lol

give them time to respond! i think this is a valid button for AAC/TTS users because i and other system members who use AAC/TTS and others who us AAC/TTS are not always fast responders. it takes me time to process before i type in TTS or start looking for the response on the AAC board - Allison

we need to work on our high tech communication as well. we need to work on our AAC apps and TTS apps to make them easier to use and and we can use things we say often. we wish we could buy one of those big AAC apps. one day we'll save up.

have told my partner abt tts. that am going to use it for long speeches (like more than 1 or 2 sentences). he accepted.
feel so reassured by him. he is really good n supportive. he cares abt me, i have all my current life because of him.
am so happy to have him in my life. am so happy to be able to accommodate. am so happy to not feel rejection because of my disabilities.
love him so much.
