Is your voice still there?
Read a short text out loud, about fifteen seconds, and you’re done. Record the phrases that matter too: they will play back exactly as you said them, years from now.
Your voice, forever.
Record your voice while it’s still there, or recover it from 15 to 20 seconds of an old message. The day speaking gets hard, type a sentence, by touch or with your eyes, and the iPad says it in your voice.

For people whose speech is at risk, and for the people close to them.
ALS (motor neurone disease) or another condition that affects speech: the app speaks to you, about your voice. Someone close to you can install and set up everything, with no technical knowledge.
Is your voice already gone?
A recording of 15 to 20 seconds is enough: a voice message, a family video. You pick the passage where you can be heard clearly, the app does the rest.
A Voice Memos recording or a WhatsApp message must first be shared to the Files app.
Today you record. Tomorrow, you speak.

Today
You give your voice
A short text read out loud, about fifteen seconds. Or a 15 to 20 second recording you already have. The app transcribes it on the iPad and you check it.
-
A few minutes later
You listen
The app plays you a sentence you have never said, with your first name in it. You decide whether that voice is yours. If not, you try again.
-
Every day
You speak
You type, or pick a ready-made phrase. On iPads that support Apple Intelligence, the app offers three ways to say it. The iPad speaks in your voice, and starts while the rest is still being prepared.
Look at a phrase. A copper ring closes around it. It’s spoken. Beta
The iPad’s front camera follows your gaze, with no extra hardware. With the iPad in landscape, setup takes two minutes.
- A rest area, where nothing triggers, to let your eyes settle.
- Call rings on a long gaze, to bring someone over.
- Already have an eye-tracking device, such as Tobii TD Pilot? Say so on first launch: VoiceForever follows its pointer and leaves the camera off. Touch and iPadOS Eye Tracking always remain available.
This feature is in beta: it can still make mistakes.
Try it. Keep the pointer on a phrase, like a gaze.Keep your finger on a phrase, like a gaze.
Sample voice. In the app, it’s your own that speaks.
What matters, kept as it was.
Record the phrases that matter, in your real voice. They play back in Speak exactly as you said them, years from now.
Call
An always-visible target rings the iPad, loudly, to bring someone over. It is not an emergency call and does not replace a medical alert device.
A backup that’s yours
Export a full copy of your voice, to import it again or to listen to it without the app.
Made for loved ones too
Installing, adjusting, changing the voice: someone close to you can do it all, with no technical knowledge, and the app explains every step.
Your voice never leaves the iPad.
The iPad itself makes the voice. No account, no server, no subscription, no ads.

What people ask us most.
Every answer is on the Support page.
The person can no longer speak. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. A recording of 15 to 20 seconds is enough: a voice message, a family video. A clear voice, with no music or background noise, works best.
How much do I need to record?
About fifteen seconds: a short text read out loud, and the app guides you. You can change it at any time, and record the phrases that matter separately.
Do I need an internet connection?
Only once, to download the voice (about 2 GB) and transcription (0.9 GB). Wi-Fi is recommended. After that, VoiceForever works offline.
Is it a medical device?
No. It is a tool for communicating and for preserving a voice. It does not replace medical advice or an alert system.
Start while your voice is still there.
