iPods that speak,
everything! You must have one of the latest generation Nano (4th
gen. and above)
and the latest iTunes software. When connected, ou’ll find a option in
iTunes to “Enable spoken menus for accessibility.” When you
sync, iTunes 8 creates spoken descriptions for the contents of your
iPod nano using the text-to-speech engine on your computer (in Mac OS
X, Windows XP and Windows Vista) and then syncs them to your iPod nano
along with your music.

Phones that
convert your caller's speech to text, immediately!
CapTel at <http://www.captionedtelephone.com> provides this phone
and service, many times at no charge to the user. The caller's
voice goes to an intermediary computer, which uses advanced speech
recognition to send text to the user's phone display, which is quite
readable. I had a conversation with a nice woman who is deaf,
Bonnie (thanks!), and she was able to speak with me at a
close-to-normal rate, using her CapTel phone. Very cool!
