Voice Output Communication Device

Voice output communication devices are electronic systems used to replace speech or writing for students, which enables them to communicate their needs. These benefit individuals who cannot speak, or whose speech is unintelligible.



there are many output devices commercially available, but it is important that the specific device reflects the user's abilities. Speech generating devices can produce electronic voice output by using digitized recordings of natural speech or through speech synthesis.



The above video shows how to use a text to speech app on an I-PAD.

    Erik,

    Nice post on voice output communication devices. I really enjoyed the video you share about the iPad voice output application. I did not know that there was such an item that existed out there. I want to check it out and hopefully be able to try it with some of students in the future.
