You might begin with a story about President Franklin D. Roosevelt .There is a brief story on the following website about when he contracted polio. It demonstrates how quickly the disease can affect a person's life. \nhttp://www.cloudnet.com/~edrbsass/fdrlessons.htm\nIf you can use any visuals - photos downloaded of iron lungs, metal braces etc. might also get the audience's attention. The following website may be useful. http://americanhistory.si.edu/polio/howpolio/rehab.htm\nGood luck.

It's too complicated to squeeze in an explanation in this space and do the topic justice.  Instead, I will suggest the following on-line resources:\n\nQuite a few links on this list:\nhttp://www.mobileinfo.com/hot_topics/SpeechRecognitionInWireless.htm\n\nhttp://wirelessspeech.blogspot.com/2006/10/when-will-distributed-speech.html\n\nhttp://www.merl.com/projects/?proj_area=Spoken+Language+Interfaces\n\nSee especially pages 10 - 15 in this one:\nhttp://av.rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A9ibyKLBe1RF1vUA.BmDBqMX;_ylu=X3oDMTBwMjNqdWVsBHBndANhdHdfd2ViX3Jlc3VsdARzZWMDc3I-/SIG=12pdc0q4o/EXP=1163251009/**http%3a//dingo.sbs.arizona.edu/%7eyinglin/LING539/slides/1_overview.ppt

1.Buy the plastic sheets and use your computer to print out your speech point\n2. Go to Kinko's and take your printed speech points and print them on transparencies.\n3. With a fine felt tip permanent marker write it all out ahead of time very neatly and legibly.

you need a voice recognition program.  Good ones that can really differentiate diction are really expensive.

I use hearing aids whenever i feel like suffering and wearing them. Don't like them. I have a VCO phone which I don't use either b/c it's annoying and lame. Has anything greater been invented for me yet, no. I think it would awesome to have a hand held thing that translates any sounds around me into words as if it's a movie, for me. I think there's one invented...dunno...probalby not cheap... and probably not that great yet either.

Why would you need it? People with disabilities would use a screen reader so they wouldn't need you to do it for them, you could design your webpage to be more screen reader friendly by adding tags and attributes that defines how the sound should be like, how the paragraph/table is read, what should and shouldn't be read, etc. \n\nIf you want to implement a pronunciation helper, like online dictionaries, just use a prerecorded sound. Embedding a prerecorded sound is easy.\n\nThe actual answer to your question is You can't. If they want their text to be read, they'll have to use a screen reader, you can't implement a screen reader software to webpages.

I'm not aware of anywhere on the internet that does that, but there are a number of options that will basically do what you are looking for.  Particularly there is software that will do it for you, such as MacMinute and many others.  There is a pen with a laser light that you can pass over the printed word and it will say the word.  \n\nApparently Microsoft has free Text to Speech software.  I think the Franklin company makes a device that will do it.  If you can talk to a special educaton teacher you can probably get lots of information.  There are probably a number of other options in this type of technology.

If you are hearing impaired, you can ask for assistance from an usher. They can usually supply you with a device to help you.
