免費語音鍵盤

重灌狂人是國內知名部落客，幾乎每天都會撰寫一、二則新文章，主要介紹的是關於資訊或網路的新工具、訊息及動態。

最近重灌狂人發表幾則關於語音鍵盤與語音合成的文章，對一些弱視、盲胞或喜歡用聽的人士很有幫助，因此將部分內容節錄在此。

[Sounding Keyboard and Mouse 鍵盤、滑鼠音效發聲器（盲人打字、自動發音工具）]
重點：...

• ...這軟體的功能主要是讓鍵盤與滑鼠的每個操作與動作都可以發出音效，不管是按下鍵盤上的任何一個按鍵，往上或往下滾動滑鼠滾輪、按滑鼠左鍵或右鍵，通通都會出現各種不同的特殊音效。...
• ...可以下載TTS相關檔案後再勾選「Read Word」跟「Read Sentence」等功能，讓我們邊打字、讓電腦邊念出英文。 當然，如果你想透過內建的發音引擎或自訂各種按鍵音效來把這軟體改造成「盲人打字機」一樣也可以，每打一個字就自動念出來，也是相當實用！...

[台灣工研院研發「中文文字轉語音合成系統」，好玩！]
重點：...

• ...他的主要功能就是可以幫我們將輸入進去的中文文字轉成真人發音的語音檔，我們可以直接貼上一段中文或英文的文字，按下〔PLAY〕按鈕後，馬上可以下載一個WAV的音樂檔，按下播放後會自動朗誦剛剛貼上的文字內容。...
• ...目前提供cTTS、iTTS跟mTTS三種引擎，都各有不同特色，另外還有男生、女生與小蘿莉的發音可選擇。（其實我也不知道這是不是很久以前的東西，很好玩就是了） ...

簡介：

Access+Ability = Accessibility. Positive attitude and positive change are what Access Ability is all about. For background, I am a former supervisor with the Texas prison system, medically retired following a 13-year career. In 1993, I was blinded in an auto accident at age 31. Since that life-changing event, I have gone back to college and earned an AAS (Criminal Justice), BS (Behavior Science), and MA (Clinical Psychology). During grad school, I worked for 3 years in the university’s DSS office as a graduate assistant to the coordinator. I also worked most recently as Coordinator of DSS at a Texas community college. I also have gained experience as a public speaker on a variety of topics. The central theme in all these subjects has been attitude. Mine is a positive one, and I am a person who will work for change in that direction. I am a man who happens to be blind, not a blind man. That is my personal distinction in attitude. However, I believe it is one which could serve a broad population when applied in the world of Disability Support Services.
