Hi Erin,

ModelTalker sends my patients a file of their synthesized voice after they have gone through an extensive input process on their home computer with a good mic.   The file they are sent is Sapi 5 compatible so it does work in the DynaVox and Tobii devices.  At this point though it can't be used on the iPAD and I am fairly sure it still can't be used with an Android tablet.  The folks at ModelTalker are working on this limitation though so it may not be a problem for much longer.  The quality of the voice produced really improved about a year or two ago.  The website has some good samples to listen to.   

Sincerely,

Amy Roman, MS, CCC-SLP
