TALKEYS requires a compatible sound card [SoundBlaster], and internal or external speaker. As an alternative to the sound card SpkQQ redirects wav -format sound output to your computer's internal speaker. Both TALKEYS and SpkQQ are low power PC applications and will operate on a 386 SX, [or greater] running Windows 3.+..
TALKEYS will speak out almost all characters on the keyboard including all letters, capital letters, numbers and special keys like Backspace, %, # , Enter etc., [no function keys]. Speech is wav -format and the quality is excellent.
It is hoped that TALKEYS will be useful for persons with visual difficulties such as low vision and visual impairment. TALKEYS may be of assistance to visually impaired persons in using Windows programs for typing text, data, numbers etc. because TALKEYS will provide them aural (spoken) feedback of the keys they are typing. In addition, children as young as a year old could play at the keyboard, and as they type the keys they will be able to see and hear the letters they type.
