Hi Alisa- With Etriloquist, you change the speech settings, so
that you
can start and stop speech within a paragraph. I once set up a client who wanted to narrate a slide
show.
We embedded a sound file onto each slide, so he could click on the
sound
file when he wanted to deliver the little speech for that slide. (You
could have multiple sound files attached to each
slide) I think I suggested to him having 2 laptops for the
presentation- One for showing the Powerpoint slides, and another one with
his
communication software, so he would be able to answer questions off the
cuff,
without having to get out of PowerPoint. Hope that helps, Margaret Cotts From:

Behalf Of Alisa Brownlee I received two emailes from patients that I am looking for
help
with please. 1.
Also, I checked out the
excel "text to speech"
capability (interesting), E-Triloquist, and the NextUp
Talker
free trial. The later doesn't appear to have the capability of
starting
and stopping within a paragraph of text, say to support a slide
presentation
where you might want this type of control. Do any of the software
packages have that feature? Anyone have any
input? 2.
...we're going to get her a new mini computer, basically so it can
speak for her. Issue being, I wanted to be sure of the operating
system. Most new computers have Windows 7 & I wanted to know if
the
downloadable programs from you guys is compatible w/ that, or if we need to
get
Vista or XP. Any help the group can provide will be
appreciated. Thanks, Alisa Alisa
