[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

Are you familiar with the IBM and Apple/MacIntosh computers that
are used by speech therapists/pathologists?  I'm referring to
those using software and microphones and as a person speaks into
the microphone, the sounds make pictures on the screen and shows
them whether they are pronouncing a sound clearly or not.  I think
this is wonderful and cannot think of a better tool to teach
children/adults speech.

I also feel that decoders are also another excellent tool in educating
those in reading.
