Summary: Provides a vocabulary of pictures and videos that talk in a natural human voice. Allows a user to make their wishes known (or to practice common words and phrases). The user can access everyday words appropriate in, for example, doctors’ appointments, emergencies, shopping, and telephone conversations. A speech-generation engine helps to personalise and expand the vocabulary. A collection of ‘mouth-position’ videos encourage practice and self-cuing for people who seek to recover their speech during stroke rehabilitation.
