Voice Ink Software: bring teaching resources to life - make them talk!
Take any Microsoft Word document, import it into VoiceInk (it is really easy to do) and print! The V Pen will then be able to read out loud the printed words and sentences simply by touching the word with the tip of the Pen. You can also store messages and other sounds in pictures. Touch the picture with the tip of the V Pen to speak words or play sounds.
If there are words that VoiceInk knows are not stored in the V-Pen’s memory (over 45,000) it will automatically generate the necessary speech files and let you know that ‘synchronization’ is required. Simply connect the V-Pen to the computer via the USB cable and let VoiceInk do the rest. If your document uses everyday English, it may not be necessary to synchronize at all
Minimum system requirements
Voice Ink software is compatible with Windows 7 operating systems only.
Voices
The default voice in Voice Ink is the approx. 45,000 English words that have been recorded with a male and female voice, but you can also use text-to-speech synthesised voices where your document contains a word that is not in the 'default' sound library. Most computers will include Microsoft TTS voices and you may have some others, but you can also purchase additional voices separately, for example Acapela or Cepstral TTS. Details are included in our support pages advising where you can buy these voices.
Recommended printers
Important: Please ensure that you have a compatible printer before purchasing. Many laser and some inkjet printers will provide great results with Voice Ink software. See www.ability-world.com/product-support-19-w.asp for details and related products (below) for printers supplied by Ability World.
