Attach voice recordings to photos (recorded speech or text to speech) so the photo speaks out a message

When you press on a photo, the voice recording speaks out so you can explain your photos and use them in conversation if your speech is affected. You can also make stories to tell people/children.

You can also make visual schedulers to remind you how to carry out tasks (e.g. baking a cake)

You can make as many albums/stories as you like
