Hi there, hope this isn't a dumb question.
I like the sound of the assistant but am also partial sighted so want to get TTS.
Is there a version of Hal which does both, or do I need to find 2 compatible pieces of software?

hal actually does text to speech , you type in (if not using vr) and the typed text is turned into speech with hals response and actually learned from . Robert actually sells different voices to use with hal, which are text to speech.

Do you know if you have to type it in, or will pasting work?

bcabz Hal has a box down in the lower right side of hals window, you type things their , then hal has about a 5? second delay then hal will answer you or talk about things. you can also use vr ( voice recognition ) so you don't have to type but rather hal hears your voice and it types it out for you and hal answers the same way as described above . BUT with any voice recognition many have to be trained first for best results and have a fairly quiet room so it doesn't pick up other noises which will bother the mic when using voice recognition .
I actually personally use dragon speak natural (vr) i recommend at least version 11.5 and higher . you also if using (vr) have to have the appropriate boxes ect. checked in hals menu to use it.
