I wanted to share small new project with you all. Our most successful project is The Open Voice Factory. It converts easy-to-use PowerPoint designs into communication aids that can be used by people with speech difficulties. Like most communication aids, The Open Voice Factory is very visual and works on a grid. This makes them potentially […]

How we ask for money
This is the set of times we’ve asked for money for things we want to do. It gives us information about what we have tried to do so far, and that can help us decide things in future. We share it because it might help people who have the same plans. Also, people who like us can […]
A Mod for Ryan
SpecialEffect is a charity that targets something which often gets overlooked – people with physical disabilities have lives beyond simply ‘being disabled’ and want to enjoy themselves. We provide the specialist technology, advice and support for everyone to benefit from the fun, friendship and inclusion of video games, leisure technology and communication. We know there’s […]
Open Voice Factory has updated
Following some fairly intensive work by testers (thank you everbody!), we’ve updated the Open Voice Factory as well as its CommuniKate templates. This has fixed one bug made one design change, and added one feature. The bug was relatively simple – the colour wasn’t been read from some PowerPoint cells correctly, which meant that they […]
Mozfest
eQuality Time will be running a design session at Mozfest in a few weeks. We’re very excited about this. Mozfest is an astonishingly exciting place.

Supertitle Phase 2: report

We’ve run sessions in 10 schools so far, working with around 60 students in six languages. We’ve made our materials and our technology better […]
eQuality time is two years old.
eQuality Time became two years old yesterday. There was a small celebration with a small cake. So many people contributed to this, I hope that you are all as proud as I am.
ISAAC 2016
eQuality Time has been at ISAAC 2016, the major (and indeed, probably only) international conference for people interested in AAC. We were there to try and find helpers and get a real sense of AAC outside of the UK. It’s hard to know how that went, we met some great people, but only time will […]
Bid sent to the Arts Council
At eQuality Time we believe that the more transparent an organisation is, the more effective it will be. One of the things we’d like to be more transparent about is the funding application process. We’ve just put in a bid to the Arts Council: here is the way that I described it to the […]
Application to Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity Health Innovation Fund
Some of you may remember the truely awesome post from Kate Ganim from Superhero Cyborgs (If you didn’t you should go back and read the post). One of my ambitions for some time has been to bring the project over to the UK and this weekend past I made the time to properly write a […]
