Choice and Flexibility
TapToTalk Designer lets you use pictures from various sources in your albums:
In TapToTalk Designer, you choose what word or phrase is associated with a picture. You decide the appropriate caption and description that you see with a particular image. With TapToTalk Designer, you also choose a word, phrase or sentence that will be "spoken" when the picture is tapped. Then choose the comfort of recording a real voice or the convenience of text-to-speech. You are in total control of the vocabulary, accent and language (more info).
