Abstract
HandiTalk was designed
to be a means for speech impaired individuals to communicate
with their environment. One of its main features is ease of
use. HandiTalk is a two part project. One part is a button
used as an input device. The other part of the project is
the application. It has a timer that highlights items
(pictures, letters) for a set period of time. The patient
waits for the item that they want to be highlighted and then
they select it via the input device. The computer will then
generate a descriptive speech for the corresponding item.
