 Proloquo 2.0
Proloquo is a multi-purpose, multilingual speech solution for Mac OS X
that provides: (1) a full-fledged communication system (AAC) for people
who cannot speak; (2) improves accessibility of Mac OS X for people with
visual impairments; (3) provides speech feedback in any application
while typing for children and people with learning disabilities; (4) can
serve as a talking word processor; (5) provides text to speech for
people who prefer listening to reading; (6) can be used as a tool to
learn the pronunciation of foreign languages; (7) provides an advanced,
multilingual speech engine for our KeyStrokes® on-screen keyboard and
our SwitchXS® switch access solution.
Proloquo includes High Quality and/or High Density Acapela voices for a
language of choice. The languages currently include US English, UK
English, German, Dutch, Flemish, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish,
Swedish, Norwegian, and Brazilian Portuguese. Acapela voices for
additional languages can be purchased as a language pack. In addition,
to offer users even more choice, registered Proloquo users can contact
AssistiveWare for a discount coupon to purchase Cepstral voices that
work not only in Proloquo but system-wide. Finally, Proloquo of course
works with all the built-in voices of Mac OS X.
Proloquo is different from Apple's excellent VoiceOver technology for
Mac OS X Tiger in several ways. VoiceOver is a screen reader primarily
intended for people who are blind. Proloquo, instead, is a multi-purpose
speech solution that also includes certain features geared towards
people with limited vision (such as the ability to speak what is below
the cursor and to echo what the user types). Additionally, Proloquo
works with high quality voices in multiple languages.
Proloquo can be used to create a complete personalized Augmentative and
Alternative Communication (AAC) system using simple drag and drop (or
copy and paste) of phrases into lists organized by topic. Proloquo can
also be combined with LayoutKitchen®. With LayoutKitchen users can
design their own speech panels for Proloquo with colorable and resizable
buttons containing text and/or images in a variety of formats.
