Text Readers

Today at work we were discussing how our courses could be read to students who might have some issues with reading.  For those with Microsoft Word, there is a built in "Natural Reader" which you can find by going to your start button.  But for those (like me at home) who only have Google Drive, you have multiple options:

  • Add Speak It to your Chrome browser, outline the part of the page that you want read to you and then tap the icon on your browser and it will start.
  • Go to Natural Reader and paste in text and it will read to you. 
  • You can use WebAnywhere to type in a url, highlight text and have a webpage read to you.
