THis is a procedure whereby you type whatever text on your laptop/computer and it is converted to speech. You can choose male/female voices and many different languages. When my son wasn't able to speak right after surgery as well as during the most painful part of Rad Tx, he used his laptop and sign language but how great it would have been if he had been able to use this! And I'm thinking that for anyone surviving the painful parts of recovery, this could be a procedure that might help or even be entertaining. How about that?
