The software was originally built by Todd Landstad, a software engineer with years of experience with Tablet PC development. He developed the Tablet PC Speech Assistant as an aid for people who have problems speaking. The Tablet PC Speech Assistant can make it fairly easy for some people to have phrases that they often use spoken by the default voice on the Tablet PC. Given that the software require fairly good handwriting ability, and access to specific hardware, it will not be practical for some people.

No publisher simonjudge 2011-10-19T21:44:00Z OATS http://www.oatsoft.org/Members/jimluther/index_html I have recently submitted three programs that I use on a nearly daily basis with students at the school where I work. Two of the programs are used mostly as cause and effect media players and the other is a launcher program. Most of the students I work with are developing basic skills with hopes that they will master some sort of scanning approach for indicating preferences, and that they will eventually use these methods for more general communication. I also use these programs with students who use a touchscreen. Below is a more detailed description of these programs.
