Features & Capabilities

Emergency Chat is an accessibility-focused tool designed for situations where speech is not possible but communication remains essential. On launch, the splash screen clearly explains to the person you handed the phone to that you can't speak and want to use this app to communicate.

The default splash text targets autistic meltdowns where speech centers may be temporarily non-functional after recovery. Both the splash message and its title are editable in settings, and the next screen presents a simple chat client for ongoing conversation.

For whatever reason the app colors are now this very bright green on white which is hard to read. I initially thought it could have been a bug, and perhaps it still is because no one is that dumb, I tried deleting and reinstalling the app which didn’t solve the problem.

I really like this app! Though i do think it needs to be like iMessage in the fact that it should be different colors that stay the same based on who’s typing. Also I do age with the person who says the app needs a speech option because what if you are communicating with someone who can’t see well? It might benefit both the people are communicating because the person who’s nonverbal can let people know by having the app speak for them, and other people can listen to it.

I got the app about a month ago and had to use it for the first time today- It’s always frustrating to not be able to communicate properly in times of high anxiety but this helped me get what I needed across without having to play 20 questions with my family, which often just causes MORE stress. I would love it if there was a “voice box” or “sound board” with common phrases or a text to speech option because I often don’t feel comfortable handing my phone to other people. Those options would be super nice, though I know text to speech is hard to fully set up, especially if you want to give voice options.
