Talking Tablet

johnnybravo

Where can i get advice on these Tablets or Notebook which you can make sentences and conversation with someone.

For a Stroke Victim Cant speak very well . Mainly Grunting sounds. Hes too embarrassed to go out shopping etc

Has anyone gone this route for speech

Any tablet would be capable of text to audio - ie) Speech

It's down to software / App installed

Unless you need a specific device

something like https://usaspeechtablets.com/pages/talktabletpro which uses symbols

or https://saltillo.com/products#nova-chat-10 either mini or full size

There are many options

I used to have a Windows Tablet - 25 years ago, for this very purpose - that was not very good (it used to eat batteries due to its display type)

I recommend getting in touch with your local council Adult care OT section - they will point you in the right direction…

Hi @johnnybravo and welcome to the community.

I can see you've already got some top advice there, but I'd also think about reaching out the the Stroke Association who have a lot of information regarding communication aids.

What is the maximum size of the device that will be comfortable to use? For home use, I connected a second monitor to the laptop of a person who had suffered a stroke, on which the interlocutor could see what was being typed on the keyboard.
