PowerTalk

>>The PowerTalk program automatically speaks the text of a Microsoft
>>PowerPoint presentation using the Microsoft Speech API. It has been created
>>to help those who have difficulties talking whilst presenting or for an
>>audience that contains people with visual impairments. It is Open Source
>>Software and is free.
>>
>>PowerTalk is about 2.5MB so simply point your browser at
>>http://www.meru.org.uk/speechmakers/powertalk.html to be guided through the
>>download process.
>>
>>PowerTalk is published as part of the Speechmakers project that is hosted
>>and managed by MERU. It provides high quality communications software for
>>disabled people. If you would like to be involved in any way please visit
>>the project site or contact Simon Judge ([log in to unmask]). We are
>>currently looking at ways of
>>funding the project and any suggestions would be very welcome.
>>
>>The primary inspiration for PowerTalk came from a letter in Ability
>>magazine, published by the British Computer Society Disability Group in
>>association with AbilityNet.
>>
>>Remember that PowerTalk is Open Source Software so please pass it on to
>>anyone who may be interested.
