Its been several years since I made inquiries about "Text to Speech" assistive devices for PBP. I'd like to start a discussion related to several questions. 1) Do people have favorite devices for use when you can still type on a keyboard? 2) What is their favorite supporting software for their device? and WHY? 3) What is the best way to deal with responding to phone calls?
There are lots of different software apps out there therefore I am trying to get at the question of what might be considered the "BEST" by actual users. I myself employ an ipad/ ipad mini and an ipadtouch. And thru laziness primarily have stuck with "Speak It" app. I found Prologue@Go app too complicated to use routinely. Still struggle with what to carry now that my walking/balance is affected. So portability an issue solved somewhat by the ipad mini however once you add a keyboard still a little hefty but considerably better than the full size ipad weighwise.
I welcome any input for all your experience dealing with similar issues. Thanks!
Also in rereading my thread I realized that I forgot to mention that I rarely use the actual Speak it feature. Rather people just read what I have typed. They can normally read faster than I type.
