US Congresswoman deals with public speaking problems using text-to-voice technology

I recently learned about Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton through a CNN report. She was initially diagnosed with Parkinson's and later with PSP. Despite her condition, she communicates using text-to-speech technology.

This has made me consider using a similar technology for communication. I believe that people will understand and respect this choice. All that is needed from the other person or persons is patience when communicating with me in this way.

Here are the links.
