[Athen] Text to Speech Reader

[Nast, Joseph M]

From your description, you may be looking for something a little more robust than simple TTS capabilities. Would an AAC app (for a mobile device) be appropriate? Many premium apps like Verbally and ProloQuoToGo (iOS) feature word prediction algorithms and are highly customizable:

Free\low cost AAC apps are available, but typically have less features and may be visually designed for children (less appealing to adults).

Subject: [Athen] Text to Speech Reader

An instructor of ours has had an unexpected health event that will leave him without a voice for a while.  We are starting to investigate some text to speech readers that he can use in his classroom to communicate with his students.  I am turning to the experts for any suggestions.
Your comments are greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
