The problem is that while it does talk text, you can't use it alone
to find the text you want read. And, interestingly enugh, it's
screens are not vo friendly.

Proloquo is a groundbreaking multi-purpose and multilingual speech and

speak, a talking interface for people with visual impairments, speech
feedback in any application while typing, and can read text aloud.
It wouldn't be accurate to call Proloquo a screen reader. The quote
talking interface for people with visual impairments unquote is
limited to Proloquo screens, perhaps only those set up for a student
by a teacher. It is a very nice product for what it does. It also
pairs well with their alternative access (single or multiple switch,
touch screen) software.
