Hi all,
In response to a query from a customer, does anyone know if there is any text to speech software written for the BB? This enquiry is specifically about a blind person wishing to use a BB, but I'm gathering it would have wider usage than just that.

Cheers.

I don't know of any, but if there is, it would be pretty cool

The two I know of, go the other way (speech to text.) However, maybe they have other products or know of other developers that can help you.

I thought I heard someone say they heard this could be a reality. Anyone have news on this?

Try searching for a program called JAWS and also by Raymond Kurzweil

Hi

I have a blind friend who uses a Nokia 9500 Communicator with BlackBerryConnect.

It has text-to-speech capability within the Symbion OS of the Nokia device.

I think this is the best solution currently available.

I need something similar but for a friend who just had his tongue and vocal cords removed due to Cancer. I'm specifically looking for software that will quickly speak what he has just typed. Sort of like a IM client but the output goes to the speaker instead of another person.

I found a TTS (text-to-speech) product for Blackberry that looks like it is going to be released shortly.

check out MobileTTS.com (for Blackberries)

Finally !!
