[visionrehabtherapist] Re: ZoomText speech stumbles when typing

I use Zoomtext everyday, with and without speech.  If you reset the verbosity 
to intermediate or echo words rather than letters, then it may "stumble" less 
and keep pace with your student's typing.  However, if there is some reason 
your student needs to hear every letter, then I would suggest you contact 
aiSquared support team directly.  I have always had positive experiences with 
them whenever I wanted to know something that I could not find in the manual 
easily.

Subject: [visionrehabtherapist] ZoomText speech stumbles when typing

Hi all,

I have a student who did some training using ZoomText with speech.  He has a 
severe hearing impairment along with his blindness.  He types fast enough that 
the speech couldn’t keep up with the keystrokes and “stumbled” over itself 
trying to speak the letters as he typed.  The teacher he was working with at 
the time did not have any suggestions other than typing slower.

Does anyone know if there is a solution for increasing the speech speed (I 
presume the teacher at the time did this).  The student is pretty set on having 
something he can see as well as hear.  Vision pronosis is deteriorating (RP).

There may be other ways of dealing with this that I have not considered, and 
any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.
