----- Original Message ----- From: byk - byk@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: speech programs First of all I want to thank Rachelle, Ruth , Patricia and Lisa for their response to my request. In case their suggestions didn't appear on the list, I have been asked to share their answers. Their suggestions: Text to Speech created for the blind, and for which one has to pay. naturalreader.com or NaturalReader.com which I undersatand in free www.readplease also free May I also suggest a new programme which has just come on the market and is now offering a free trial. the programme is Ginger. It corrects not only spelling mistakes but also grammatical ones. For example, a student of mine wrote " I hope you're brocken toe hills soon." It was corrected to " I hope your broken toe heals soon." This is a boon, both to native speaker dislextics, as well as non native speakers who need to write correctly.
