To answer your question.. when I wrote of "signed speech" I was meaning SEE, but I've forgotten what it is called here in England, so was trying to use a more generic term. Note that reading from a word-at-a-time presentation is more natural than reading off the printed page, as the words are presented serially like speech. In WordAloud, the presentation is reinforced by synthesised speech, such that you see and hear each word at the same time. This is good for teaching/learning the association between written words and their sounds. BTW, we've just updated the free evaluation copy of WordAloud on the web site www.wordaloud.co.uk.
