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
