The Speakeasy HUD for Second Life

Decka mentioned the Speakeasy HUD as a good tool for giving presentations. The idea is that you pre-programme lines of text which you can then initiate in text chat with a single keypress.

I set off to find this tool. First starting in the Resource Centre on Terra Incognita, then doing a general search within SL with no luck. Then a Google search threw up a couple of useful links: http://sledpicayune.blogspot.com and http://ictlibrary.googlepages.com/icttools_speakeasy
I finally found a SURL for the ICTLibrary here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Info%20Island/51/206/34 and had a look around.

The ICT Library has lots of useful stuff and I'll certainly be back for more. The Speakeasy HUD can be found on the ground floor in the Freeware Centre (see picture). Click on the right arrow to scroll through to Item 17.


I'll add to this post when I've had a play with my new toy.

No luck with Speakeasy so far. Permissions don't allow modification which I can only assume is unintended by the author. Will keep inquiring.

Got another Speakeasy from Decka tonight which works just fine. It seems to me that distributing the entire notecard to the audience would also be a good idea.
