[Speex-dev] Help re speech software for the visually impaired
Hello Speex Development Team, We have purchased many T-2000 phones from VAVAA ( Gold Score International Holdings Limited of China) which use the Speex V208 software. Many of these phones are being used by Vision Impaired people some of whom are totally blind. Do you have a version of your software that we could load which produces speech outpiut that communicates to the user each key selected and each function available as the keys are pressed. For example http://cns-cs.berkeley.edu/special-needs/prod-vis.html And http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/screen-readers.shtml Could you please rely to Peter at peter.halliday@gmail.com Thanks and regards Rob Byers Switchboard - South Yarra 227 Toorak Road, South Yarra Phone (03) 9869 2222 "This e-mail and any attachments to it (the "Communication") is, unless otherwise stated, confidential, may contain copyright material and is for the use only of the intended recipient.

Hi, Not too sure what you're looking for, but Speex isn't a screen reader, it's a compression algorithm. Also, there's no with thing as Speex version V208.
