Great progress, Mag. Kim and Tracy: Are you folks discussing "Phonetics/Phonics?" Do you mean by "Pheoms" "Phonemes?" There's lot's of info on the net. Try Alta Vista. ism -----Original Message----- Sent: Sunday, July 11, 1999 12:42 AM To: Recipients of C-PALSY digests Subject: C-PALSY Digest - 9 Jul 1999 to 10 Jul 1999 (#1999-186) Date: Sat, 10 Jul 1999 01:59 EDT From: Magenta Raine <[log in to unmask]> Subject: my new talking device After many years of waiting for a device that would be portable enough to carry anywhere, and then having to wait for regional center and voc rehab to work out who is paying for it, I finally got my talking device today! love, tamar ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Jul 1999 10:48:20 -0400 From: Barry Ashby <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: my new talking device Hi Tamar, Good luck with this device. My son, Stephen (4 years old), is learning to use a Dynavox. I often have to spell words in strange ways when programing it in order to get the device to say something that sound close to the real word. This is a problem with names especially.

From your e-mail I gather you are spelling words differently everytime you program something in the Dynavox. Instead of having to spell words weird to make the Dynavox speak words right everytime, there is a page called Pheomes(sp?). You may or may not have this page loaded End of C-PALSY Digest - 9 Jul 1999 to 10 Jul 1999 (#1999-186) *************************************************************
