[Nfb-science] Fw: TTS intelligibility Experiment

[Christine Szostak]

Hi All,
  Normally I would not send on announcements of research studies available, 
but since this is to aid screen reading software intelligibility 
performance, I thought this was highly appropriate for our community!

  If interested in participating or if you have questions, please contact 
the individuals associated with the study rather than me.
many thanks,
Christine
