Shana,
There are an almost n infinite number of FREE TTS software applications. Ones that I have used are ReadPlease, Natural Reader, and Voxx. In addition, the following links are "portals" for TTS software. They list multiple…
Sally Irons replied to Sara Coccimiglio's discussion 'Assistive Technolgies'
Sara,
It would help if you would give a list of "The Basics" or things that you have already come across. The list of Assistive Technologies is extremely long. Before I begin generating my list (and crash this computer... LOL), I'd…

Sally Irons replied to Samantha Hook's discussion 'Wiki'
