What, Software Program, Or Toy, If You Type In The Letters it Says The Word?

Stroke Victim, my elderly cousin needs a device where by you type letters and the device says the word. It could be a toy or I can get her a computer if there is a software program that would do this. All she says is "NO" for yes, for no, for everything. She had a stroke 15 years ago and she has not improved in a long time. I went to ToysRUs yesterday but I did not see anything.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you and Happy Holidays.

Update:

Thank you, both. Very Much. You gave me some good hints to keep looking. Happy Holidays! God Bless

    Windows has a 'Text to Speech' program.

    Try:

    Speech Recognition > Text to Speech

    I believe that when something is typed in, it is then highlighted and the 'Text to Speech' when started, will say the text.

    Play with it.

    There are other programs to download that I've read about, but I've never tried them, so I can't say bad or good.

    Good luck.

    ;-)
