ATTENTION: PROGRAM STEPHEN HAWKING USES TO TALK RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC

[Headcrab Zombie]

I think it's had various inputs depending on the stage of his motor neurone disease.
Currently I think it tracks minor movements around his eyes or perhaps cheeks.

Ah yeah, probably

But what I was (badly) trying to say is
Does it need that input device? Or can it be adapted to anything?

This:

from the looks of it, you need to have a webcam so it can track your facial (mostly cheek) movements

answered that question tho

Too bad it's actually the program to enable Hawking to type and not his speech synthesizer.
The thing that Hawking uses for speech synthesis is called DECtalk, and Hawking has a unique(?) version of it (http://www.wired.com/2015/01/intel-gave-stephen-hawking-voice/)
