Windows onscreen keyboard (in windows 7) is now resizable and has a word completion option.  I would never bother with it in windows vista or below over click n type.

Abbreviation expansion through MS office, speed typer (free in W XP).  There are a couple of cheap shareware options in vista and 7 for abbreviation expansion.

But etriloquist offers preprogrammed phrases no?

Hi Everyone!

Is there anything new in the world of Windows PC for text to speech these days?

I need a text to speech program with word prediction and pre-programmed phrases for a head mouse user on her PC while we go through the assessment and funding process.

Is there anything new? Other than….

• E-triloquist – www.etriloquist.com – speaks what you type and has preprogrammed phrases.
• Click-N-Type - www.lakefolks.org/cnt - free onscreen keyboard if typing is difficult.
• Camera Mouse www.Cameramouse.org

Thanks in advance!
