Speech Journal for Android

I got this app for my son so he could make his own thoughts and recordings and I could send them for him to family members. He has Downs and loves to use his Mobile , but even though he has a good vocabulary and a memory like no one else, he never has had the dexterity to write. I thought this would be perfect. So far every time we record it FORCE CLOSES. Completely shuts the whole app down and goes to the home screen on his Mobile. We have had it 15 minutes and he had already given up and went to his Android to play with SIRI. I don't know how to get a refund as I have never asked for one, but this app is garbage!

I like the simple interface and it probably does what it says as an education tool 1on 1. I was hoping to be able to use the recordings, and my 2 stars are for not disclosing how the picture and the audio recording are exported. I paid for the app only to find out after the fact that: "When emailing a recording, all the images will be attached along with the audio file. The attachments, however, will not be a slideshow. The audio files and images will be separate files." Further, the audio is emailed in a format that need to be converted to be used in other apps. I would have expected mp3. So if the above is not a must have for you, go ahead. For me that was a deal-breaker. Unusable.

Came across this app in my search for something to use for making social stories or video modeling for autistic students. It has a nice tutorial built in, which is always helpful. What makes this different from all the others is the ability to add either a picture or a voice recording to what you have already made. It also lets you crop photos to use just the portion you need. Creations are easy to email. On the downside ... Once you add a picture to your page, you can't do anything with it like move it or resize it. You also cannot change the order of the pages you have already made. I never did figure out how to create a new student profile to use this with more than one student. If these things are possible, they need to be added to the tutorial.

I like the sequencing feature, but it moves too fast on playback. An impaired child or adult does not have time to focus on one photo before the next one appears. The app needs a way to control the speed of presentation if you are going to market it to speech pathologists! I tried pausing between photos, but the audio then rushes the photo presentation when the "continue" button is pressed.

Great for the K classroom to let kids record stories. But please...can you move the delete all button away from the archive? How can the kids go in to look at the work without the fear of everything being deleted? Thank you!
