Lisa,

I just saw a discussion on the Smartbox Partner Facebook page about using google translate - apparently there is a chrome extension that you can use with keyboard commands?  If you need more details let me know and I can see if I can get the links. 

Sincerely,

Hello,

I am looking for an easy fix for a bilingual man who uses a windows  eye gaze SGD in English to speak with his mother in Arabic.  His mother is the only person who he communicates with who needs Arabic. 

Mother does not read English.  Positioning is difficult to read the computer screen in Arabic.

My thought was to minimize the AAC software and use a text to speech app which includes an arabic keyboard and arabic pronunciation using his windows eye gaze interaction.

Any ideas?

Has anyone already had this solution?
