Voice4u Behind the Stage (4) – The Audio
The audio on Voice4u is of a fairly low pitch. Many autistic kids have very sensitive hearing, and are therefore made uncomfortable by high voices.
Voice4u Behind the Stage (3) – The Graphics
The specialists were very helpful and gave me lots of advice about how I should go about creatingVoice4u. The teachers and speech therapists recommended that the icons don’t wear clothes and don’t have hair.
Voice4u Behind the Stage (2) – The Professionals
When I was informed that Wataru may have autism, I was sent to another specialized hospital. It wasn’t until several months later that he was diagnosed with autism. Because his mental development was recognized as being slower than normal, he was put into specialized classes for his early childhood education. He had already learned several things like how to distinguish between the different colors. A speech therapist was sent to my house to teach me sign language too. I had assumed that the first signs she would teach me would be words like “no”, “don’t touch that”, “be quiet”, or “that’s dangerous”, but I turned out to be completely wrong. The first sign she taught me was what gave me courage to continue on without losing hope. Those words were — “I love you”. This was the sign language taught to me so that I could express my feelings towards my one and only son.

In this post, we will be telling the stories behind the creation of Voice4u. This will consist of a series of stories, so please enjoy yourself and read them if you wish!
A Loving Grandmother with Voice4u
I am sure that you are all already aware that an iPhone or iPod touch is needed in order use Voice4u.
Today, I gave an informational presentation to the families of children with special needs on how to use the iPhone. Although Voice4u is easy to use after just a little bit of practice, the iPhone itself can sometimes be a little hard to manage. Most of the people gathered today were first time users, so I took it upon myself to help them become more familiar with the device.
Brainstorming Day
Today was a day of brainstorming for Spectrum Visions. Ideas for various new products were proposed. From products that would be fun to use, to products that are practical and useful… the ideas were endless! We will begin creating new products based on these ideas, and we look forward to presenting them to our users and supporters upon their completion. We hope that day will be very soon!
Heartwarming Stories of Voice4u
We have been pleased to receive various comments and thoughts on our new application Voice4u.
When we receive all of this positive feedback, it really makes us feel like our efforts are worthwhile. Thanks so much everyone!!
Portable Speaker for Voice4u
When it comes to using Voice4u outside, in a classroom, or in a car, one may find it hard to hear with the built-in speakers of the iPhone or iPod Touch. Due to this minor inconvenience, we have been experimenting with several different speakers (along with other accessories such as armbands and microphones) to see which products produce the best sound quality.
