I need to find out the relative merits of text-to-speech packages, to run on Mac.
My student has one eye (with good vision, but tendency to visual fatigue) and memory/ concentration difficulties, from a severe head injury.
She does not seem to have language difficulties, as such.
Her need is therefore for the basic screen reading, rather than bells and whistles.
Since she may use it for extended periods, the main requirements are: good listen-ability, ie most natural sounding + good accuracy (wide vocabulary).OS X V10.2 has built-in text-to-speech.
How does it compare to textHELP Type and Talk or Kurzweil 3000?
Any experiences gratefully received!
