Does anyone know if there is an app to use on your cell phone that is like a portable mic to amplify our voice? not to record but to project like a portabel mic people use for public speeches?

This is the most devastating social symptom so far. No Silverman recommendations please. I was once a speech pathologist. This isn't going away. i need adaptive equipment that is in my cell phone.
Paula,
I have not posted in quite a while, but I just had to respond somehow to you, although I have little to offer as a solution.
Have you tried backing off on sinemet? Does lying down offer any improvement (while prone)?
How long has this been an acute problem?

D**n Parkinson's anyway!
