11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>I do like the IVEO system for creating
talking tactile graphics for students. One of my favorite features is the fact
that you can add text to your graphic that will then be read as text-to-speech.
Some of the competing products only allow recorded audio in the talking
graphic, which I find much more cumbersome.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
