Subject: Text-to-Speech for the AlphaGrip
I am testing TTS software with the AlphaGrip and wander if anybody has
done it already. Would appreciate any comments on this.

Well first of all:  Why did you post the exact same thing 4 times?
And second:  Text to speech has nothing to do with the AlphaGrip.  Is
this spam for something else?  I don't think anyone in here is
interested in Viagra. lol

AlphaGrip is just a keyboard.  TTS would be some software on your
computer.  And there are plenty of TTS apps available already.  I
wouldn't waste my time developing it unless you had something really
revolutionary like a more natural voice inflection system.

UUUUps, I think my  lack of expertise on the I-Grip made me replicate
the post. And NO, Viagra wouldn't help me learn faster. Finger
dexterity takes more that and the I-Girp is a challenge for every
user.

Because that looooong learning span I want to develop training
tutorials assited by voice  (user selectable thit is ). Just any
software wouldn't do it since I have tested already many and those
have unrelated features to this device.

The I-Grip is more of a Hand Held Input Device and as such it has
other user demographics. I blog and it makes perfect sence for me
since I could do it even taking a shower (I might have  stretched a
little here). I use severeal screens so moving fast from one to the
other is handled well with the I-Grip.  With refinement this device
would have a good reception with professional bloggers.

There is even a niche in the visually impaired market but the TTS
software will have to be specialized (no use for the trackball or any
pointing device as we know it).

Voice inflection, vocal cues, synthesis and other factors have to be
tested/factored in for this specific device. Other cultures will find
it more appealing to imput written characters so a user interface will
develop for this independant from the OS.

It doesn't sound revolutionary right now but remember when DOS came
out and look at Vista now.  It was driven by the neeeds from users to
make it....better !!!  Revolution wont happen overnight. I am just
trying to make it easier to use with the help of other  average users
like me.

I appreciate the usefull suggestions from everyone.
