Speex dev - Sep 2007 - 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

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.

Cheers,

Hi Jean-Marc, Thanks for your follow up. 

 

Looks like you may not be able to help us. We need someone who can point us
in the direction of voice output software that we could load into the VAVAA
phone that will then speak to our visually impaired users.

 
>From some of the links on your site, we were hoping you might be able to
assist.

 

regards Peter
