[nfbcs] Device needed to help a client communicate who can't talk

[Michael Barber]

[*] Hello:  We have a client who cannot speak but can hear just fine.  We're looking for some kind of device to help the client communicate with people.  It seems to me that some time back I heard of a device where the client typed on a keyboard and then what they typed was spoken.  What I can't remember is if it was software for a computer or if it was a standalone device.
[*] 
Right now, the client is thinking of using a cell phone with Mobile Speak or Talks and just writing text messages.

Anybody have ideas?

Cordially,
Michael Barber
