Drawing app

[BigAl-sa]

Anyone have easy to use preferences for a drawing app that will be suitable as a means of communication? A buddy is having an op on his tongue and won't be able to talk for quite a while.

I've looked at quite a few, and most are either too complex or shouldn't even be in the store.

Way not rather let him type it out and then let n app speak for him?

Like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appinventor.ai_Gareth_Hannaway_420.VirtualVoice&hl=en

Google translate does that

Translate takes it from one Lang to another, no?

Thanks Park, that looks interesting. We'll have to see how a boerseun handles the rooitaal (as well as the female voice). It's quite funny to hear what comes out with Afrikaans. With SwiftKey's predictions it's reasonably quick to get your words entered.

Line Brush looks as though it may fit my original request for its ease of use.

haha yeah I was afraid it would be required for Afrikaans. With google translate one can type in Eng and have it read out in Afrikaans but the pronunciation is also not very accurate.

I have Sketchbook for Galaxy on my Note3. It came with it. If you don't have a Note 3, there is also a version available in the play store.

Unfortunately, the oke would prolly want to type in Afrikaans. Maybe I should see how google translate handles Afrikaans input??

Thanks. I have sketchbook pro on both my Nexus 7 and note 1, but I think that's a bit too complex for this job. This oke is a novice as far as Android goes (even though he's had an Android phone for more than two years).

Try using an app called layer paint. It allows you to create a large page if you want to write something on it. It works really good on a note device. The suggestions above seem really good as well.

Actually, google translate is not too vrot. It may do better than I thought as it also has handwriting recognition. And you can get it to say the original sentence, which maybe what roger moore was referring to.

A gripe I have with Google Translate is that neither the handwriting recognition nor the speech output work without an Internet connection :-(

It does support offline mode- you just have to download the language packs...

Did you read what I said? Handwriting recognition and speech output do not work in offline mode. The translation is unfortunately not important in this exercise.

(For the record, the Afrikaans to English translation is atrocious.)

Ah, my bad, saw Google Translate and the rest sort of went by without me comprehending that sentence correctly

What is really off putting (I wanted to use another stronger word), is that Samsung's S-note app handles the handwriting recognition perfectly without an Internet connection...
