DialogueAid

A simple Software that allows you to play custom text as audio. Text can be written by hand or combined with text blocks.

This Software was originally created for the assisted living institution St. Hildegard in Straubing.
It is used by some residents to improve their communication with caregivers.

Therefore the whole program is in German.
However, if you delete every sample entry it can be used for other languages too, if they share the same charset that is (so russian wouldn't work for example).

There are two ways you can add text to the the textfield:
  1. Simply type in it.
