IntelliTalk
is a talking word processor ideal for young children, people
with learning or visual disabilities, and those who speak
English as a second language. Published by IntelliTools,
this software can be used with a standard Apple or the
IntelliKeys keyboard to provide speech and reading feedback.
Like any word processor, IntelliTalk offers various
fonts, sizes, and colors, as well as read-aloud functions
for those who need or want auditory feedback.
Product Highlights
IntelliTalk's two speech features are:
- Speak: The computer speaks each letter, word or
sentence as it is typed in. These settings can be mixed
and matched.
- Read: The computer reads back what has been written
previously. It can read part or all of a document.
IntelliTalk offers two different modes:
- Picture Menus: Designed for beginning users or
children, this mode includes simple commands and menu
pictures that illustrate each menu item's function.
- Standard Menus: Like a standard word processor, this
mode includes more menu choices and does not display
pictures.
IntelliTalk includes a built-in pronunciation
editor, male and female voices, and special read-back
options for switch users. A Spanish version is also
available.
