Typing, Communications and Text to Speech Systems Run-Down: An ALS Perspective

A follow-up to my Post; Foot switches, Track balls and bears, oh my!

Time For me to start looking for alternative methods of communicating. I’m comparing systems like Dynavox, TypeRight (http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/), prediction typers like Windows OSK, SoftType 4.1 and KeyStrokes for Mac. Tracking devices like Head Mouse Extreme by Origin Instruments and free tools like http://www.cameramouse.org/.

Many more products & reviews will be added so be sure to subscribe and check back soon. At my current 6-10 w.p.m., this may take a lot of time and research. My goal is 30-35 w.p.m. I was 55-60 by hand and could achieve roughly 80-100 with Dragon Naturally Speaking voice software.
