Hello Everyone

 

I have a friend who recently lost his larynx to cancer.

He is wanting to communicate 

He wants to Join a zoom meeting 

I am giving him instructions on Chat and Closed captioning. 

He can use his text to speech application on the iPhone 

and play that when he turns on is mic in the Zoom Meeting. 

What would you suggest he use? Since this is recent He has not learned Sign language. 

 

Does ZOOM have a Text to Speech Option in the Accessibility Tools?

I have not done this on an iPhone, but have set it up on a desktop. We set the Zoom Microphone to the computers audio device and then typed our text into NaturalReaders.com, and hit the play button. It outputted into the Zoom meeting just as if it were a microphone. No need to mess with sharing audio.
