This page lists all of the general purpose software that I have developed over time. Anything may be posted here from utilities and tools I’ve created to accessibility helpers to just fun little programs that don’t really qualify as anything specialized enough to belong in another section of the website.
Speech To Audio Relay (STAR)
STAR is a set of python programs intended to make text to speech based audio productions easier to create, allowing all members of a production team to share the synthesis abilities of all voices available to each person no matter their operating system.

pipe2textbox (show.exe)
Show.exe also known as pipe2textbox is a tiny win32 program intended to ease the reading of long command line output. You can pipe any process’s output to show.exe and have that output displayed to you in a simple multiline text box with find and save operations.

Bestspeech/Keynote Gold wrapper and NVDA addon
Many people are familiar with the old Keynote Gold speech synthesizer that was once a standard on Human Ware devices such as their Braille note line as well as several other blind/VI focused products, children’s toys etc. For years, many people have wanted to use this synthesizer on windows with NVDA, despite it’s retro sound. This Bestspeech wrapper project makes that possible, providing a fully featured NVDA addon that brings the synthesizer to modern windows including control of more obscure parameters like head size and unvoiced volume.
