Yes, preprogrammed phrases are an option in etriloquist as a file tree format…

 

I was thinking along the lines of a “page” or window type format such as the major communication device manufacture type pages and/or proloquo…

 

But still no “all inclusive app” like “verbally” on a iPad?

 

 

 

 

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!
