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.
