So thanks to my fun version of cancer, I had a total larynjectomy. My voice box was removed. Amongst all the other things I will never be able to do again, I can’t speak on the phone.

I have been trying to find an app that lets me type words and it speaks them INTO THE PHONE to the person on the other end. However much I try, I can’t seem to find the right words to make Google understand what I’m looking for. I don’t need something that speaks typed words out loud to the person standing next to me. I don’t need an app that reads texts to me. I need to communicate over the phone line to the person on the other side.

Can anyone here unlock the magic phrase that finds what I need? I am starting to suspect there’s some law against it or something, which is why it’s seemingly not a thing. I can’t imagine mine is the only use case for such an app.

Right now my poor wife is the one who has to make all my doctor appointments, order all my drug refills, call the plumber, whatever. I’d love to be able to help with that again. Can you fine folks help me out?
