Speak For Me – Type. Be Heard.
A text-to-speech app built specifically around the moments where not having a voice costs the most: phone calls, counters, and conversations with strangers.

Mission
Our mission with Speak For Me was independence, not novelty. Text-to-speech has existed for years, but the moments where speech loss actually hurts, the phone call to a clinic, the exchange at a counter, are exactly the moments most apps cannot reach. We set out to close that gap and to make the experience feel like the user speaking rather than a device speaking for them.

Challenge
Accessibility apps are usually judged on features and should be judged on dignity. Users of Speak For Me include people with permanent speech loss and people recovering from surgery or illness, so the product had to work for someone with years of practice and for someone opening it for the first time on a hard day. Speaking typed text during a live phone call added a real-time constraint on top: latency has to stay low enough that the person on the other end does not hang up, while the interface stays calm enough to type into under pressure.
Scope of Work
We designed and built the full mobile product for iOS and Android along with the marketing site. The scope covered brand identity, the composing and speaking interface, voice and language selection, tone controls, the in-call speaking flow with number privacy, saved phrases for repeated situations, the free and Pro plan structure, and both store launches.
Problems
People who cannot speak were dependent on someone else being present to make a phone call for them. Existing text-to-speech tools read text aloud on a device but could not carry a live call. Robotic default voices made users sound like a machine rather than themselves. And apps built for permanent disability were often too complex for someone whose speech loss was temporary and who needed something usable within minutes.
Identity System
The identity avoids both clinical grey and the over-bright cheerfulness that assistive products often reach for, since neither reflects how users describe the app. The system is calm and warm, with high contrast held above accessibility minimums throughout, generous type sizing by default, and colour never used as the only way to convey state.
Logo
A speech mark that reads as a voice rather than a disability symbol, holding at app-icon size and in a single colour.
Research & Result
Speaking with users made the priority order clear, and it was not the one we expected. Voice quality mattered less than latency, and latency mattered less than confidence that the call would not drop mid-sentence. Reliability became the feature. Saved phrases came directly out of watching how much of daily speech is the same handful of sentences repeated.
Landing Page
One scroll from problem to proof to download, written plainly and sized for readers who may be using assistive settings themselves.
App Development Technology Stack
Speak For Me is native on iOS and Android against a shared speech and calling service. The call path is engineered around latency, because typed speech arriving late is worse than a robotic voice arriving on time.

Speaking on a Live Call
The integration that matters is the phone call. The app places the call, converts typed text to speech in real time and plays it down the line, while keeping the user's own number hidden from the person they are calling. That single capability is what turns the app from a device that reads text aloud into something that lets someone book their own appointment.
Saved Phrases for Daily Life
Watching users showed how much of everyday speech is the same handful of sentences repeated. Saved phrases put those one tap away, so a common exchange does not mean typing a paragraph while someone waits.
Available on iOS and Android
Both platforms share one voice library and one calling flow, so a saved phrase and a chosen voice behave the same on either device.
The Journey Goes on
Speak For Me is live on both stores and continues to expand its voice and language coverage, with the roadmap driven by users who rely on it daily.

The Equine Directory – Booking App for Equine Services
The Equine Directory connects horse owners with vetted equine professionals near them: farriers, stables and boarding facilities, equine veterinarians, and feed and supply sellers. It replaces the phone tree that finding a new farrier or a barn usually turns into with a searchable, filterable map and booking in two taps.
Every review is tied to a confirmed booking, so ratings reflect people who actually hired the provider. Search filters by service, distance, price and rating, availability shows live on the map, and messaging stays inside the app so a rider never has to hand out a personal number to get a quote. Provider profiles carry the detail owners actually ask for before they commit.

Top Stock – AI Market Intelligence App for Retail Traders
Top Stock is a market intelligence app built for retail traders who were stuck choosing between terminal subscriptions they could not afford and social media tips they could not trust. It pulls live quotes, SEC filings, congressional trading disclosures and social sentiment into a single calm dashboard, and only sends a notification when a signal has earned the interruption.
The app scores every ticker on price action, options skew, news velocity and sentiment through the trading day. Instead of a wall of charts, users get a ranked view of what changed and why it matters, designed for a phone screen between meetings rather than a desk with six monitors. Top Stock is not a brokerage: it holds no orders and takes no cut of a trade, which keeps the signal independent of anyone's order flow.

Where most tracking software stops at a dot on a map, Fleetile is built to let operators act. Geofences can cut an engine on an unauthorised exit, trips are scored per driver, and any journey can be shared through a time-limited public link that needs no login. The platform ships in English, Arabic and Urdu with full right-to-left support, and can be white-labelled per tenant.

Task Haus – Home Services Marketplace
Task Haus is a two-sided marketplace for home repairs and maintenance. A homeowner posts the job with a budget, skilled workers bid on it, and the homeowner picks who to hire. Junk removal, painting a room, everyday repairs: the tasks that are too small for a contractor and too much for a Saturday.
Because the work is bid rather than quoted, homeowners see real competing prices instead of guessing at a market rate, and workers choose the jobs worth their time rather than paying for leads that go nowhere. The platform runs across mobile apps, a web app and an admin console, so a job can be posted from a phone and managed from a desk.
