Abstract
Because the synthetic-speech reading machines being developed to provide blind individuals access to printed material are sophisticated in design, construction and application, final development and deployment stages will undoubtedly require the design of suitably comprehensive evaluation procedures. This report presents the initial results of a simple and easily applied method of evaluating the intelligibility of synthetic-speech reading machine outputs. The method can be used either with prototype models or with tape recordings of synthetic-speech reading machine outputs when prototypes are unavailable for field testing.
